The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is a government agency responsible for administering various programs and grants aimed at improving housing, infrastructure, and community development across the Commonwealth of Virginia. With a focus on addressing the escalating cost of living and enhancing the quality of life for low- and moderate-income Virginians, the DHCD provides funding for projects that rehabilitate housing, revitalize downtown districts, improve water and sewer infrastructure, and support essential services such as dental facilities and healthcare clinics in underserved areas.
Through the federally funded Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program, the DHCD distributes approximately $19 million annually to small cities, counties, and towns, enabling them to address their specific needs and challenges. By leveraging additional federal, state, local, and private funding resources, the DHCD aims to support communities in unique ways, protect vulnerable populations, and build stronger local economies. With a commitment to fostering positive transformations in economic landscapes and ensuring digital equity, the DHCD plays a vital role in making Virginia a premier state to live, work, and raise a family.
