Interested residents can get Rent Ready with Housing Alexandria
We understand how complicated the leasing process can be, and that there are many barriers households may face in the process – non-traditional income (i.e., nanny care for relatives), complicated rental histories, and language barriers, for example.
In 2023 and 2024, we are testing a program that we call “Rent Ready” in order to help eligible households move into committed affordable rental units and reduce attrition in the rental process. The Rent Ready program will be fully in place in advance of the Sansé and Naja leasing process.
Rent Ready is partially funded by the Alexandria Fund for Human Services.
