Discussion
The Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NNRHA) participates in the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program. The RAD program is a demonstration of the effectiveness of changes to long- standing regulations in the
public housing program proposed in order to hopefully preserve existing public housing projects which continue to deteriorate after years of declining
operating and capital subsidies.
A variety of funding sources (including local and state HOME monies, FHA financing, Federal Home Loan Bank monies, NNRHA resources, and public
housing funds) will be needed to undertake RAD program planning and the very costly renovations on these projects. The utilization of HOME Program
monies, in conjunction with other financing sources, will be used to facilitate the renovations of the public housing complexes in the City of Newport
News. This work would be undertaken in connection with HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD) as a prerequisite to the subsequent
conversion of these properties from the public housing program to the more stable funding platform of the Section 8 Program.
