During the public comment period, people can provide feedback on the strategies in the Five-Year and Annual Action Plan(s). The open house will be held in the Occoquan Room at the McCoart Government Center at 1 County Complex Court in Woodbridge at 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 22, 2024.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program, or HCVP, formerly known as Section 8, provides rental assistance, or subsidy vouchers, to families in need, helping them find affordable housing in the open rental market.
