Spring marks the beginning of work on VHFA's annual report/wall calendar.
For the past several years, we've published our annual report in the form of a wall calendar to remind folks of the good work VHFA does year-round in the name of affordable housing.
We're looking for recent homeowners with VHFA mortgage loans who're willing to be photographed for the report.
The procedure's relatively painless: 30-60 minutes of your time to let us snap some photos of you and yours outside your home some sunny day this spring or summer.
