Applications received through Rent Café will be randomly selected to be placed on a waiting list. All applications received have an equal opportunity to be selected.

Households cannot currently receive other federal rental housing assistance to qualify.
Federal Housing Funds Make a Local Impact in Fairfax
All properties are part of the Project Based Voucher program, which provides rental assistance to eligible households to live in rental units at specific properties. Through a contract with the owner of the unit, the FCRHA pays a portion of the monthly rent, while the household pays their portion of the monthly rent based upon 32% to 35% of adjusted gross income. The rental assistance is attached to the specific unit and remains at the property, even if the family moves. The FCRHA uses subsidies from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Project Based Voucher program.
