About VQ901 & the Section 8 Program
VIRGIN ISLANDS HOUSING AUTHORITY is the HUD-assigned Public Housing Authority code VQ901 for St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. PHAs administer the federal Housing Choice Voucher program under 24 CFR Part 982, paying the difference between a tenant's contribution (typically 30% of adjusted income) and the unit's contract rent — capped by the PHA's published payment standard.
For landlords: payment standards are typically set between 90% and 110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent (up to 120% with HUD approval). The PHA's published rate determines the maximum monthly Housing Assistance Payment.
