Who We Are

Sussex County Housing Department manages the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program for Sussex County.  The program provides decent, affordable housing to very low- to low-income individuals and families, including people with disabilities and senior citizens.



Vouchers are distributed through the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) in partnership with local housing agency partners. Vouchers allow qualifying prospective tenants to select from a wider range of housing options, as opposed to being limited to designated housing projects. The tenant pays the landlord a percentage of their monthly income towards the rent, with the voucher subsidizing the remainder.



All waiting list openings are announced through advertisements in local newspapers, as well as on website. The announcement will advise the public of the date and time the waiting list will be accepting applications as well as the website to use to apply for placement on the waiting list.  A family interested in participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program must apply to the Sussex County Housing office when the waiting list is open and applications are being accepted.

Sussex County Housing Office has various housing programs other than the Housing Choice Voucher program, such as Homeownership program, Indoor Plumbing Rehabilitation Program and Virginia Individual Development Accounts.
