The following map shows affordable housing properties across the Commonwealth as of October 2024, the type of subsidy used by those properties, as well as the total count of assisted units by subsidy type.
Clicking on a locality will also filter the bottom chart. Clicking on
a subsidy type will show where that subsidy is being used across
Virginia.
It is important to note that NHPD data is built using data with varying degrees of currency and accuracy. This is the result of inconsistency in data collection and different reporting schedules across agencies. Numbers of assisted units by program are NHPD’s best estimates.
NHPD’s data collection also does not include properties supported by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), McKinney-Vento Permanent Housing, HOPWA, tax-exempt multifamily housing bonds, certain state initiatives not using federal dollars, as well as local affordable dwelling unit (“inclusionary zoning”) programs. However, affordable housing properties using these subsidies or incentives are likely to have also received support from the programs covered by NHPD.
Data sources
National Housing Preservation Database (NHPD)
National database of affordable housing properties and their associated subsidies. To access the database and/or download data, users must register with a free account.
HousingForward conducts additional data quality control measures and geocodes all addresses to their associated city or county. This results in the omission of some properties we cannot fully verify. We also consult with Virginia Housing on LIHTC properties with subsidies marked “inconclusive.”
Still, a full audit of each record is beyond our capacity. If you see any errors, or have more up-to-date information about a property, please contact Eric Mai.
