Can someone with a felony record rent in Portsmouth?

Screening practices and applicable requirements can vary by property and location. Ask each housing provider about its current criteria and verify reported policy details directly. For questions about your rights, consider consulting a qualified local housing or legal resource. Approval is never guaranteed.

Portsmouth, Virginia renters can use the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority (PRHA) website and its Housing Choice Voucher referral page as official starting points. These resources do not confirm a current rental vacancy or open application period.

Local housing information for Portsmouth

Local rental overview

PRHA provides local housing-program information, including an HCV referral page. A referral page is not a live vacancy list and does not establish that units are available or that applications are currently accepted. Verify current documents and details directly with PRHA.

Criminal screening overview

This page does not verify PRHA's current criminal-history screening policy or predict any applicant's result. Ask PRHA for its current written eligibility and screening requirements and how they apply to your circumstances; no individual outcome is guaranteed.

Application tips

1. Review PRHA's official website and HCV referral page. 2. Contact PRHA to confirm the program or referral process you need and whether applications are currently accepted. 3. Ask for current eligibility rules, required documents, and official submission instructions. 4. Keep copies and confirm how to check status directly with PRHA.

Local housing resources

Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority: https://www.prha.org/ ; official HCV referral page: https://www.prha.org/hcv/referral_list.php. The referral page does not establish current vacancies or application acceptance. PRHA's current HCV referral page: https://www.prha.org/hcv/referral_list.php. The four August 17 PDF links previously supplied return 404; the live page now links the September 4, 2026 lists below. These are dated leads, not verified vacancies or evidence of acceptance after a conviction. PRHA says not every participating landlord on the unit lists has been verified. Visit a property before paying an application fee, do not pay by Cash App or Zelle, and do not pay a deposit until your HCV caseworker approves occupancy. Confirm current pricing, availability, voucher participation, screening, and the correct landlord contact directly.
