Empowering Virginia Residents Towards Sustainable Homeownership

At VAHC, we are dedicated to fostering financial stability and security by providing comprehensive housing counseling, education, and resources to communities throughout Virginia.

OUR STORY

The Virginia Association of Housing Counselors was founded by black housing professionals in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

VAHC began with a simple yet profound mission: to empower individuals and families across Virginia with the knowledge and resources needed to achieve stable and sustainable housing. Our founders recognized a critical need for accessible, unbiased housing guidance in a rapidly changing economic landscape. Over the decades, we have grown from a small volunteer-led initiative into a leading statewide organization. We've expanded our services to include pre-purchase counseling, foreclosure prevention, rental assistance, and financial literacy programs, all while maintaining our core commitment to community well-being. Our journey is a testament to the enduring belief that everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.
