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.
