Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority administers the Housing Choice Voucher program. Landlords cannot refuse vouchers solely because of source of income, and units must pass Housing Quality Standards inspection before lease-up.
The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) administers the federal Housing Choice Voucher program for eligible households. Tenants pay roughly 30 percent of adjusted income toward rent, with the voucher covering the balance up to a payment standard. Units must pass a federal Housing Quality Standards inspection before lease execution and at periodic recertifications. Virginia Fair Housing Law at Virginia Code Section 36-96.3 prohibits landlords from refusing voucher holders solely based on source of income, reinforced by Fairfax County Office of Human Rights enforcement.
Refusing a voucher holder or charging higher rent than allowed under the payment standard can trigger Fair Housing investigations and penalties under Virginia Code Section 36-96.3 plus loss of FCRHA program participation.
