About Us - Virginia Housing Development Authority

Virginia Housing Development Authority's mission is to help our fellow Virginians obtain, safe, quality, and affordable housing.

The Virginia Housing Directory was originally conceived to be a listing of non-profit housing organizations throughout the state of Virginia, however; over its eleven year history has grown to include all important resources and relevant organizations dealing with the provision, maintenance or advocacy for affordable housing. Multicultural and sustainable building resources are also included.

The Directory's resources include, but are not limited to:

State and Federal Affordable Housing Programs
Statewide and Local Non-profit Housing Organizations
Certified Domestic Violence Prevention Centers
Homeless Shelters Receiving State Funds
Local Habitat for Humanity Chapters
Local Public Housing Authorities
City/County Administrators
Local Social Services Offices
Local Area Agencies on Aging
Virginia Legal Services Local Offices
Local Community Service Boards
VHDA's Homeownership Educational Programs
