Rental Housing / Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8)
Annual, Initial and Special Inspections: For questions about Housing Choice Voucher inspections, please call (757) 385-5732.
Interim Changes: During this public health emergency, Housing & Neighborhood Preservation has loosened certain requirements relating to interim re-examinations due to loss of income. If you worked in an industry that had to close due to the Governor's Executive Order stating "non-essential" employees must stay home, please contact your assigned Housing Specialist. We will ask that you provide documentation within 30 days from your employer. If it is determined that you intentionally understated your income, participants may have their voucher terminated or have to repay the department, depending on the amount overpaid on your behalf.
Moves and Portability: To request a move or a port you must contact your Housing Specialist by mail or email.
Code Enforcement
If an immediate inspection of your property is necessary, please contact Code Enforcement at (757) 385-4421. Staff will review your case and determine how to proceed. To register a code complaint, use the online form or call Code Enforcement.
