Virginia Rent Relief Program Portal to Close to New Applications on May 15

The Virginia Rent Relief Program (RRP) is closing its application portal to new applications at 11:59 p.m., May 15, 2022.

Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) requires a prioritization of assistance for households with incomes less than 50 percent of area median income or households with one or more individuals that have not been employed for the 90-day period preceding the date of application. Any application submitted after April 21, 2022 will be prioritized based on these criteria, then processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

As always, families and individuals experiencing homelessness or in imminent danger of losing their housing should call the Regional Housing Crisis Hotline, (757) 227-5932, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Please note that calling the hotline does not guarantee assistance, since shelter, housing and other resources are prioritized for the most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis in Virginia Beach.
