VHTF provides financing for housing construction projects
that create or preserve affordable housing units, reduce the cost of affordable
housing, and increase homeownership. These investments are a key source of
financing for these affordable housing initiatives to support moderate- and
low-income families, as well as supporting homeless reduction grants to provide
rapid re-housing and longer-term housing solutions for individuals experiencing
chronic homelessness.
The VHTF program is administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), which supports Balance of State Continuum of Care local planning group strategies and homeless service projects that are a part of an effective emergency crisis response system.
