The Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program is available through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Through EHV, HUD is providing 70,000 housing choice vouchers to local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in order to assist individuals and families who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, or were recently homeless or have a high risk of housing instability.
Housing Connections, a local housing authority of the NRV was awarded eight emergency housing vouchers to assist individuals and families in the above-mentioned populations. Radford City HCV program was awarded 7 EHVs. Qualifying households are referred for an EHV through the local Continuum of Care (CoC) or New River Valley Housing Partnership.
If you would like to be referred or to make a referral, please contact the local CoC through the NRCA central intake at 540-639-3159.
