About
Virginia Housing, established in 1972, is Virginia’s self-sustaining housing finance agency that delivers affordable mortgages, rental-housing financing, and community-revitalization capital to residents and developers. The agency partners with local governments, lenders, Realtors, and nonprofits to provide first-time homebuyer loans, apartment-community funding, and federal Housing Choice Voucher and Housing Credit programs. In addition to financing, Virginia Housing offers free home-buyer education, counseling, and accessibility upgrades for people with disabilities and seniors. What sets Virginia Housing apart is that it operates without state taxpayer dollars, raising capital in the markets and reinvesting a significant portion of its net revenues back into the state’s most pressing housing needs.
