The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is planning the next cycle of the Virginia Eviction Reduction Program (VERP) and wants input from advocates and organizations working on the front lines of eviction prevention before the application opens.
VERP funds local and regional organizations to provide eviction prevention, diversion, and court navigation services to Virginia renters. Since 2021, the program has served more than 8,000 households in the Commonwealth. As DHCD designs the next grant cycle, we want to hear directly from prospective grantees about what tenants and communities need, where gaps exist, and how the program can be structured to reach more households effectively.
Participation in a listening session has no bearing on eligibility or scoring in the competitive application process.
We are holding two virtual sessions, both covering the same topics. You only need to attend one.
