Inside HUD's Federal Record for Fairfax County Redevelopment & Hsg Authority

HUD's PHAS system places it in the "High Performer" size bracket, which shapes reporting cadence and oversight intensity. Fairfax County Redevelopment & Hsg Authority is one of 3,780 agencies HUD tracks in its PIH Open Data directory for the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher program operating in VA. HUD authorizes 5,329 Section 8 / HCV units for this agency.

Ranked by Section 8 unit count within VA, it sits at the 95th percentile there, ahead of 95% of VA PHAs by that measure. HUD logs its program type as "Combined," which determines which voucher streams (regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions) it can run. Every PHA in the directory runs its own waitlist, publishes its own admissions plan, and sets its own local preferences within the federal Section 8 rulebook, so this authorized-unit figure is a ceiling, not a promise of current availability.

its main line is 7036537130. Use the nearby-PHA list below to broaden your waitlist strategy across the state. Across VA's 64 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard runs $851-$2,314/month (median $935); Fairfax County Redevelopment & Hsg Authority sets its own figure within 90-110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves, so confirm the exact number for your metro before signing anything.

How to apply at Fairfax County Redevelopment & Hsg Authority

How to apply at this PHA

Before applying, confirm whether this PHA's waitlist is currently open. Waitlist status can change without much notice, some PHAs open for as little as 72 hours at a time. Application channels typically include:

  • The PHA's own website (search "Fairfax County Redevelopment & Hsg Authority Section 8 application")
  • A public notice posted at the PHA office or in the legal notices of the local newspaper
  • HUD-approved housing counseling agencies in the area
  • Local legal-aid and tenant-advocacy groups

See our step-by-step How to Apply for Section 8 guide for the full federal application process.

What to expect, typical waitlist

HUD does not publish current waitlist open/closed status centrally, and waitlist lengths vary sharply by local demand. In high-cost metros, waits can exceed 5–10 years and many waitlists are closed. In smaller cities and rural counties, waits of 6 months to 3 years are more typical. Some PHAs use a lottery rather than first-come-first-served. This site does not predict your individual wait time. Contact the PHA directly to confirm the current list status and whether local preferences apply to your household. Our waitlist strategy guide explains how to maximize your odds by applying to multiple PHAs.

Payment standard reference

Payment standards are set per HUD FMR area, not per agency. Across VA's 64 HUD FMR areas, the FY2025 2-bedroom payment standard ranges $851–$2,314/month (median $935). Fairfax County Redevelopment & Hsg Authority sets its own figure within 90–110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves.

Find your exact number: look up the 2-, 1-, and 3-bedroom payment standards for your metro with the payment-standard lookup tool, then confirm the current figure with the PHA before signing a lease. See our Payment Standards vs. FMR guide.
