Community Revitalization

The Community Revitalization Department, comprised of Development, Redevelopment, and Homeownership programs, works with the City of Richmond to designate certain neighborhoods as redevelopment or conservation areas, and these designations allow RRHA to revitalize neighborhoods. RRHA acquires land in the targeted areas, carefully selects developments and is able to provide low-interest loans and offer tax incentives to developers and first-time homebuyers. RRHA works with neighborhood residents, public housing residents and homeowners alike to build successful, economically mixed-income communities. These community redevelopment activities range from residential to commercial to industrial revitalization. For more information click on the Planning and Community Development link.

This department oversees the Authority's internal and external communications efforts which include media and public relations initiatives, the production of publications, newsletters, informational brochures and the management of the agency's website. Additionally, the department directs the agency customer service efforts through various community relations programs, initiatives and events along with staff training and organizational development efforts to advance the agency's commitment to quality customer service.
