Creating safe, quality and affordable housing for Virginians requires a combination of programs and resources. The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) administers programs targeted at preserving or rehabilitating existing housing.
These programs not only assist in maintaining the current availability of affordable housing, but they also improve the quality of life for citizens throughout the state. DHCD’s programs address indoor plumbing, weatherization, emergency repairs to homes with imminent health and safety hazards and address lead safety for homes with small children.
