Housing & Community Development

Committed Affordable For-Sale Units, also referred to as Proffered Affordable For-Sale Units, are available throughout Prince William County through a rezoning process. Affordable units are owned by private owners/builders and are not owned or operated by Prince William County.

Committed Affordable Units are subject to restrictive covenants including an Affordability Period, in which if the home is sold, it has to be sold to an income eligible purchaser.

The Prince William County Affordable Units Program consists of the sales of homes at below-market prices available to households earning up to 80% (Affordable Housing Units), and up to 120% (Workforce Housing Units) of the Area Median Income (AMI) as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area, adjusted for household size and updated annually.
