The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority's (RRHA's) Planning and Community Development Department is at work rehabilitating Richmond's spacious, historic houses and beautiful old commercial buildings because:

• Rehabilitation projects are beautifying Richmond's neighborhoods and commercial districts;
  
  
• Rehabilitating commercial space and bringing businesses and the revenues they generate back into the city;
  
  
• Rehabilitation stimulates private investment in commercial and residential districts;
  
  
• Rehabilitation gives new lives to some of Richmond's most beautiful and historic houses and buildings;
  
  
• Rehabilitation can transform commercial buildings into residences and meet housing needs.

RRHA's Role in Rehabilitation

Through various programs, RRHA offers financial incentives such as low-interest loans to developers and families to take on rehabilitation. By carefully selecting developers, RRHA also ensures that rehabilitation efforts yield lasting results that are of the highest quality.
