Housing Choice Vouchers

Skyline Community Action Partnership (CAP) manages the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) (formerly Section 8)  program for Orange and Madison Counties.  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.

To find out if you meet income eligibility requirements in Skyline’s service area, please refer to these guidelines.



The Housing Choice Voucher program is not currently accepting applications. If you would like to be placed on the waiting list, you MUST apply online with Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA). Skyline cannot accept your application directly.
