Advertise Your Rental for Free
The City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) is proud to introduce VirginiaHousingSearch.com, a FREE housing listing and locator to help tenants find housing and landlords fill vacancies in Virginia.
Effective immediately, RRHA will now use VirginiaHousingSearch.com to refer Housing Choice Voucher holders to your available units and will no longer use GoSection8.com.
VirginiaHousingSearch.com gives voucher holders 24/7 online access to listings, and searchers can call a toll-free, bilingual call center for live assistance 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. each weekday.
Landlords can register for free (online or by toll-free phone) to enjoy the following benefits and more:
- Unlimited free listings with no hidden fees: add and update online or with a quick, toll-free phone call.
- Post photos and details about bed/bath, location, rent, utilities, amenities, accessibility features, eligibility requirements and more.
- Remove listings from public view immediately when rented. Re-list with a few mouseclicks or by phone when available again.

Section 8 Homeownership Opportunities
RRHA offers homeownership opportunities through the HUD approved Section 8 Homeownership Program. This program allows families who are currently receiving housing assistance under the Section 8 program to convert that assistance into a one-time down payment or monthly payments to assist with a mortgage that will allow them to purchase a home.
