Who We Are

Junction Center for Independent Living (JCIL) is the Housing Choice Program. The program provides affordable housing to very low- to low-income individuals and families, including people with disabilities and older adults.



Vouchers are distributed through the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) in partnership with JCIL. Vouchers allow qualifying prospective tenants to select from a wider range of housing options, as opposed to being limited to designated housing projects. The tenant pays the landlord a percentage of their monthly income towards the rent with the voucher subsidizing the remainder.



All waiting list openings are announced through advertisements in local newspapers. The announcement advises the public of the date and time the waiting list will be accepting applications and the website to use to apply for placement on the waiting list.



The Center also provides housing counseling.  The counseling includes pre and post purchase housing counseling, predatory lending counseling, foreclosure prevention and pre-post rental counseling.
