Services (HAMHRS) has administered rental assistance vouchers, called Section 8
vouchers, for the Virginia Housing Development Authority since 1990. This program currently assures safe and affordable housing for more than 381 low income persons, most of whom are
disabled, and pays $1,539,896 annually in rent on behalf of these persons. It was recently cited by VHDA as a "High
Performer" and awarded a $1,000 cash bonus, one of only thirteen in the
Commonwealth singled out for recognition. The program is managed by two staff members who are Housing Specialists,
Jennifer Boyer and Judi Richardson, and is overseen by Mary Beth Schutte,
Program Manager for the Community and Residential Resource Team, and Michelle
Johnson, Director for Community Support Services. Michael O'Connor serves as Executive Director
of HAMHRS.

the Board of Supervisors for its generous support of the organization and presented
the Board with paperweights containing the Henrico PAL logo and with copies of
