Discussion
The Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NNRHA) is participating in the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program
and has renovated numerous complexes using this program. The RAD Program was established to help
preserve and improve aging public housing communities by allowing housing authorities to convert
public housing units into more stable long-term Section 8 funding platforms. This initiative addresses the
ongoing challenges caused by years of declining federal operating and capital subsidies that have
contributed to the deterioration of public housing properties.
To support RAD planning efforts and comprehensive property renovations, NNRHA will leverage a
variety of funding sources, including local and state HOME funds, FHA financing, Federal Home Loan
Bank resources, NNRHA funds, and other public housing resources. In the past, HOME Program funds
assisted with the rehabilitation and preservation of public housing complexes throughout the City of
Newport News as part of the RAD conversion process. These investments will help modernize housing
units, improve living conditions for residents, preserve long-term affordability, and support the
successful transition of the properties from the traditional public housing program to the more
financially sustainable Section 8 platform.
