Virginia Housing Development Authority
VHDA’s Mission
• To help fellow Virginians obtain safe,
sound and decent housing otherwise
unaffordable to them
• This is one of the Federal
government's program for assisting
very low-income families, the elderly,
and the disabled with rental expenses

VHDA’s History
• VHDA was created as a housing finance
agency to lend money for homeownership
programs and to provide financing for
multifamily properties
• In 1975 VHDA was appointed by the VA
General Assembly to apply for the voucher
program in areas in VA that did not have a
housing authority or agency to apply for the
voucher funding

VHDA’s History
• Already in VA there were housing
authorities administering the public
housing program
• VHDA made presentations to every
county or city in VA that did not have
a housing agency to seek voucher
funding for their community

Program Funding is Limited
• By the mid-1990s Congress began to slow
down in providing “new” funding for the
voucher program
• VHDA has a waiting list of counties in VA
that now want to provide the program but
funding is not available
• Congress is funding “special purpose”
vouchers but not providing new funding to
start new areas or new agency programs

How the Program Works
• Families rent existing housing stock; the
private rental market is used, as new units
are not built for the program
• The program is not public housing and
entire apartment complexes are not
“vouchered”; families are dispersed in the
community
• The voucher holder must find a rental unit
and willing landlord, the unit is inspected,
and the rent requested must be reasonable
for the market area

How the Program Works
• A housing assistance payment (HAP)
is paid by VHDA directly to the
landlord.
• The family pays the difference
between the actual rent charged by
the landlord and the amount
subsidized by the federal program.
• Average HAP paid on behalf of the
family is $586 program wide.

How the Program Works
• VHDA is authorized to administer
Vouchers in all areas of the state, but
• VHDA is not statewide and is not in
every jurisdiction in Virginia.
• VHDA’s program is primarily in
suburban rural areas; generally not in
metro areas although there is some
overlap
8

How the Program Works
• VHDA partnered with special interest
groups back in the early 1980s that
were not successful working with the
local housing authorities for specific
housing needs of their clients
• 37.7% of the VHDA’s 9446 vouchers
are to persons with disabilities

Current Market and Economy Impact
• Increased number of calls from families who need
rental assistance
• The average rental assistance payment is $586 per
month; families are losing jobs and hours worked
being reduced causing the average rental assistance
to increase
• VHDA voucher waiting list: @ 6,000 applicants
• Increased number of calls from rental property
owners who can’t rent their property and now will
consider the voucher program

HUD Notice of Funding (NOFA)
4000 Vouchers
• VHDA will be applying on behalf of our 35 agencies
• VHDA’s expectation to receive vouchers is good but not a large
number—maybe 25 vouchers under this funding notice
• All of VHDA vouchers under this notice will be made available
to the Money Follows the Person Program
• We will apply for the maximum permitted under the notice
• There are 2400 PHAs in the nation so the 4000 vouchers will not
be available to all PHAs—there will be a ranking system with
points assigned to the “winners”

4000 Vouchers
• Recommend you read the Overview and Comments on HUD’s
NOFA: Housing Vouchers for Non-Elderly Individuals with
Disabilities”
• The “Overview” presentation provides information on how you
as an partnering agency can help your PHA with the necessary
information the PHA will need in order to apply for the funding
(recommend reading Next Steps Pages 21-25)
• Do expect based on public comments that the information will
be revised so my presentation today does not review the NOFA
in detail (recommend reading HUD Requests Comments Pages
9-18)
