Staunton Redevelopment & Housing Authority

What Staunton Redevelopment & Housing Authority does

Staunton Redevelopment & Housing Authority (SRHA) is a government-designated public housing authority established in 1961 and operating under Virginia Title 36, headquartered at 900 Elizabeth Miller Gardens in Staunton, Virginia. It administers three HUD income-based housing programs — Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) covering Staunton City and Augusta County, Project Based Vouchers at partner properties including Mountain Laurel III and Middlebrook Trace/Trace II, and direct-ownership multifamily apartments comprising 150 units across Elizabeth Miller Gardens and Farrier Court. SRHA serves low-income families, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and veterans through rent calculated as the highest of 30% of adjusted monthly income, 10% of monthly income, welfare rent, or a $25 minimum, with 2026 HCV payment standards ranging from $1,204 (1BR) to $2,455 (5BR).

SRHA's revenue model is administered funding rather than commercial revenue: it receives federal HUD subsidies, voucher program administrative fees, and tenant rental payments, channeling the majority of voucher subsidy directly to private-market landlords. The technology stack is HUD-standard housing management software supplemented by tenant portals (RentCafe for multifamily applicants and a dedicated Housing Voucher Portal). In 2024, SRHA was selected for HUD's Moving to Work (MTW) cohort 5, granting authority to design innovative, locally-tailored housing strategies. In October 2025, SRHA expanded its resident-services stack through partnerships with Staunton City Schools, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Atlantic Union Bank, Blue Ridge Legal Services, and James Madison University, and operates an affiliated 501(c)(3), Staunton Housing Corporation, recognized as a Community Housing Development Organization for long-term affordable housing development and historic preservation.
