Thank you for your interest in applying for a Virginia Housing Development Authority Grant. Below are the following guidelines to help you understand VHDA grant making and navigate the grant cycle.

Overview

VHDA awards single- and multiyear grants through REACH Virginia. VHDA reinvests a portion of our net revenues into Virginia’s communities through REACH Virginia (Resources Enabling Affordable Community Housing in Virginia). This is a multifaceted resource that VHDA uses to support vital housing initiatives through our Homeownership, Rental and Community Outreach programs.

VHDA also serves as an intermediary for federal grants such as the HUD Housing Counseling Program and state initiatives.
