I participate in the GRHC’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, have a move to a new unit scheduled and have already given notice to my landlord. Will unit inspections proceed as scheduled?
The GRHC will continue to conduct initial unit inspections for move-ins that have already been scheduled. The unit must be vacant and clean. Emergency inspections for issues that pose a potential health or safety hazard will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If you have a question about your inspection, please email ic@grhousing.org.

We are handling emergency inspections on a case-by-case basis.

In the meantime, please feel free to email ic@grhousing.org with your name, contact information and a brief summary of your situation.
