How rent is calculated
At HUD-assisted properties in Roanoke, eligible tenants generally pay 30% of their adjusted monthly income toward rent and utilities. HUD pays the property the difference between that household contribution and the negotiated contract rent. Income limits are set annually by HUD based on the local Area Median Income (AMI).
How to apply for housing in Roanoke
Each property keeps its own waitlist, separate from your local Public Housing Agency’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher list. Practical steps:
- Call the on-site management number listed for each property below to ask whether the waitlist is open and how to apply.
- If most local waitlists are closed, also apply for a portable Housing Choice Voucher through the PHA serving Roanoke — see our step-by-step guide.
- Cast a wider net by checking nearby cities in Virginia — HUD vouchers are typically portable within the same metro area.
- Confirm what you may qualify for using our eligibility guide before you call.
