Struggling to pay your mortgage due to COVID-19? Virginia Housing is launching the Virginia Mortgage Relief Program, which will provide homeowners with assistance to prevent and/or ease mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, and displacement due to financial hardship caused by the pandemic. Virginia Homeowners will be able to request assistance when the program launches in early fall 2021.

A new report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University reveals how the pandemic has impacted housing and how much more work we have to do to build back better. The report's five major findings include: 
 

• The national housing supply is at historic lows.

• Home prices are rising quickly. 

• Rents are down sharply for high-end apartments in some high-cost urban markets.

• Renters and people of color fared the worst during the pandemic.

• The number of people experiencing homelessness grew for the fifth straight year in 2020.

The Ellen M. Bozman Affordable Housing Award is given annually in recognition of organizations and/or individuals who demonstrate a commitment to the preservation of housing affordability in Arlington. In this way, we hope to highlight and encourage the work in which AHS founder Ellen Bozman so strongly believed.
