The fine print worth knowing before you go
- 1
The phone number we had didn't match NRHA's own site
We were given 757-624-8615, but NRHA's official site lists (757) 623-1111 as its main line. Use the confirmed number, or check nrha.us directly, rather than the unconfirmed one.

We couldn't confirm the nrha.myhousing.com portal
NRHA's site references Applicant, Resident and Landlord portals hosted on a different domain — check nrha.us for the current, correct application portal link.

Virginia generally protects against source-of-income discrimination
Virginia law generally protects renters from discrimination based on source of income (including vouchers), subject to certain exceptions — worth knowing if you also look at private rentals.
What to bring
- Photo ID
- Income documentation
A real, active NRHA property — but use NRHA's own confirmed phone number and portal rather than the ones that were circulating, since they didn't match.
