The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) operates 1,060 units of RAD (Rental Assistance Demonstration Project) Project-Based Voucher units. RAD Project-Based Voucher units are managed and maintained by the Fairfax County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The units were built or acquired using federal funds. Units include townhouses, garden apartments and condominium units, and are located throughout the County.
The program generally serves households with incomes up to 50% of median income. Tenants pay 30-35% of their income for rent. The average income of tenant households is about $21,694 (FY 2010). The FCRHA receives an annual operating subsidy from the federal government.
