HRHA offices will be closed to the public on December 29 and December 30. HRHA residents of Franklin Heights, Commerce Village and Lineweaver Apartments should call (540) 432-3921 with work order requests during those days.
The Harrisonburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority (HRHA) is happy to announce that we have been awarded $23,174 in funding from Sentara Healthcare for our Skilled Career and Job Training initiative. These funds will benefit our Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) participants in their efforts to make progress in several aspects of their lives, including financial wellness, higher educational achievements, higher incomes, and more job opportunities. It is no secret that higher education can come at a high financial cost. This grant will cover tuition and provide laptops for FSS participants to use for their studies.
“The recent Sentara Healthcare grant award is another excellent example of a shared vision with a critical community agency on assisting and supporting families in bridging gaps and providing opportunities for success. Special thanks to all the past and current staff, community partners, and FSS participants for the program improvements.”
– Executive Director Michael Wong

Public Notice from HRHA Executive Director Michael Wong:
Effective December 1, 2021, HRHA’s waiting list will be closed due to software conversion and data migration issues. We will continue to admit applicants from the current waitlist.

We are excited about all the new features the software will provide which will hopefully improve client access, increase communication, and enhance ease of use for all involved.
