ABOUT

The Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority (VIHFA) was established in 1981 to address the existing shortage of low-and moderate-income housing in the United States Virgin Islands. The VIHFA originates programs to create an adequate supply of affordable housing to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income families in the Territory.

In essence, the VIHFA was created to ensure that all Virgin Islanders are granted an opportunity to obtain safe, sanitary and decent, affordable housing. The VIHFA uses tax exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Low Income Housing Tax Credits, HOME Funding, Community Development Block Grants, Local subsidies and other funding to stimulate the development of affordable housing throughout the Territory. The VIHFA aspires to be the premier self-reliant housing and community development agency fostering sustainable communities in the Territory.
