Housing Programs

Housing Stability - OAHI exists to provide high-quality housing for low- and moderate-income citizens of Virginia. In pursuit of this goal, the agency strives to deliver the best possible service in a people-sensitive fashion. All efforts revolve around the premise that the quality of our work directly affects the quality of life of those served.  Move In, Move Up, Move Out. OAHI offers several ways to help Virginia residents who need to move into stable housing and work toward self-sufficiency. Through our public housing program, we assist families with low-cost permanent housing. Through our Housing Choice Voucher program, formerly known as Section 8, qualified applicants can secure housing in the private market. For nearly all our customers, the dream of owning a home is available through our Smart-Based Homeownership Program.

There are private counseling sessions to review your credit, income, and assets to help identify any obstacles. In the case that there needs to be corrective action, counselors will help you develop and stick to a sensible plan.
