WVHDF IMPACT

Providing safe, affordable housing for West Virginians. It's our charge and our mission at the West Virginia Housing Development Fund. What we do touches many lives and in many ways you wouldn't expect.

WVHDF Are You Ready for Homeownership

There's no sense in just rolling the dice when it comes to one of the biggest investments in your lifetime. Ask yourself these three basic questions to help better understand if you're ready for homeownership and what it takes to qualify for a loan through the WVHDF.

IMPACT Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program – Glade View Apartments

The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program provides tax credits to owners of qualified low-income rental housing that serves seniors, the disabled, families and others. The Glade View Apartments in Cowen, West Virginia were built using the Fund's Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program.

WVHDF Homeownership Program

The West Virginia Housing Development Fund's Homeownership Program is a great option for first-time buyers! This program generally offers our lowest interest rates, and borrowers can also use the Low Down Home Loan to cover all or part of their down payment and closing costs. Visit www.wvhdf.com/home-buyers for more information!

Working with a Lender

Your loan officer can be a valuable resource as you go through the home buying process. A loan officer can take a look at your finances and tell you what mortgage product is best for you and your long-term goals. Although you can get a loan directly through the West Virginia Housing Development Fund, we partner with more than 60 banks, credit unions, and independent mortgage companies across the state who are familiar with our programs and can help you purchase your home!

Is Homeownership Right for Me

Making the decision to buy a home can be a difficult one. There are many factors that weigh into that decision, but this is really where your journey into homeownership must start. If you've given it some though and have decided that homeownership is the next step for you, give us a call at 800-933-8511 or visit www.wvhdf.com/home-buyers to get started!
