The Hampton Redevelopment and Housing Authority

Redevelopment and housing authorities are governed under Title 36 of the Virginia Code. The Authority was initially created to redevelop the downtown area Hampton. In the 1960's, the Authority undertook five major redevelopment projects with funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as follows: Bridge Street (downtown Hamp... ton); Old Hampton; Phoebus, Buckroe; and West Hampton. The Authority contracts with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to be responsible for two major housing programs: They own and operate three public housing apartment complex and manage over 2,000 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. The Housing Authority also owns and/or manages over 400 non-public housing units across the city of Hampton. For several years now, the City of Hampton has contracted with the Housing Authority to be a subrecipient of funds received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and administer the HOME and CDBG Program. The Housing Authority is led by the company's Executive Director, Mr. Ron Jackson, and the company's management team and each day brings the opportunity to fulfill the company's goals and objectives through the company's human resources.
