RRHA’s
Strategic Plan: Building Vibrant Communities
The work of the Richmond Redevelopment and
Housing Authority (RRHA), its residents and
many stakeholders has resulted in the development
of an ambitious and far reaching Five-Year
Strategic Plan that will allow RRHA to lift
Richmond’s neighborhoods, while providing
economic opportunities and expanded housing
options for an improved way of life for public
housing residents and those seeking quality
affordable housing.
RRHA, the largest housing authority in
the Commonwealth of Virginia, serves nearly
10,000 residents and manages nearly 4,100
units through its Public Housing Program
and through its various Housing Choice Voucher
Programs (Section 8) provides subsidized
housing assistance to approximately 3,100
families. RRHA also manages neighborhood
redevelopment and conservation programs
throughout the city of Richmond.
The Five-Year Strategic Plan incorporates
new affordable mixed-income housing, family
self-sufficiency opportunities for residents
and the development of mixed-use communities.
RRHA will accomplish this through partnerships
with business large and small and local, state
and federal agencies to help us revitalize
neighborhoods.
RRHA is very excited about this opportunity
and its partnership with the City of Richmond!
Recently, Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder
announced the city’s Interagency Task
Force to strengthen coordination and effectiveness
among City departments and agencies relating
to all aspects of neighborhood vitality. “We
must address the dire need to create more
flourishing neighborhoods across the city
by taking steps to deconcentrate poverty and
public housing, which can be replaced with
mixed –use, mixed income neighborhoods,”
the Mayor said. A primary objective of the
Task Force will be to coordinate assistance
in the implementation of RRHA’s strategic
plan. “It is critically important that
all of the City entities work together effectively
to advance the goals of the RRHA strategic
plan,” the Mayor said, “because
the need for taking such action is so evident."
The successful history of the Richmond Redevelopment
and Housing Authority is based upon partnership.
RRHA knows the importance and value of involving
residents, community leaders, stakeholders
and others in its efforts. RRHA also knows
that the Five- Year Strategic Plan is an ambitious
plan, and has every confidence that the Authority,
the City of Richmond, its residents and the
community-at-large have the expertise and
commitment to achieve the goals of the plan
--- nothing less will be accepted for our
families and this city.
RRHA will utilize the best and brightest this
city has to offer – our public housing
residents, educators, business leaders, developers,
financial experts, RRHA staff and our partners
in government- all working together to successfully
revitalize Richmond’s neighborhoods.
