The Affordable Multi-Family Housing Loan Program has been established to provide gap financing to affordable multi-family rental housing projects to encourage private investment to address the unmet rental housing needs of Loudoun County citizens and workers. The program focuses on the housing needs of households earning up to 60% of Area Median Income (in 2022, $85,400 for a family of four).
Loans will be provided to finance units in excess of the minimum number of Affordable Dwelling Units necessary to satisfy the requirements of Article 7 of the Zoning Ordinance and may include:
Multi-family affordable rental housing with units for the benefit of households within the income and the rental limits defined by Chapter 1450 of the County Ordinances.
