Middle-Income Homeownership Development Program (MIHDP)

From this site you will find information, required program forms and a secure document delivery process. 

Important Information for Lenders:

For certain developments, some units include an affordability subsidy to benefit an eligible buyer. When an affordability subsidy applies, the subsidy must be used for down payment. For a list of currently available units with an affordability subsidy, see the MIHDP Homes for Sale webpage. Affordability subsidy amounts do vary. The lender is responsible for verifying that MIHDP is an eligible community second. For information on program restrictions per the MIHDP Mortgage Deed or MIHDP Covenant, contact VHFA's Compliance Department.

Compliance Requirements and Process:

All buyers purchasing a property in a project that has benefitted from MIHDP must meet all compliance requirements of the program as outlined in the MIHDP Guide. If the buyer(s) is also applying for a VHFA Homeownership Program, all requirements for that program must also be met.
