General Requirements
Most housing funded must serve households earning less than 100% of median income as defined by HUD income guidelines.The majority of the homes funded by VHCB serve households with incomes between 30% and 80% of median income. The Housing Revenue Bond can fund housing serving households with incomes from 80-120% of median income. The affordability of the housing is secured with legal instruments (housing subsidy covenants) filed in the land records that remain with the property upon resale to ensure permanent affordability.
