Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) Rental Program - Fairfax

Affordable Dwelling Unit Rental Program provides qualified low and moderate income households the opportunity to live at a reduced rent in some of the new privately-owned and privately managed market-rate apartment communities located in Fairfax County. Two-thirds (2/3) of the ADU rental units in each development are reserved for households with incomes up to 70% of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) median income, and one-third (1/3) of the units are set aside for households with incomes up to 50% of the MSA median income, adjusted for family size. There is a maximum rent established for the units set aside and offered under the ADU Program. Applications are accepted at each property’s leasing office. Minimum income to qualify for rental is determined by each property.

The program provides a preference to applicants who live or work in Fairfax County or who have a household member with a physical disability or handicap that requires the leasing of an ADU unit with certain accessibility features. Contact individual properties about questions regarding income eligibility under the ADU Rental Program or directions to a property. For general information on this program, contact the Fairfax County Department of Housing and Community Development.
