Committed Affordable Housing Programs Overview

COMMITTED AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

The Prince William County Board of County Supervisors adopted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan (the “Comprehensive Plan”) on December 13, 2022, through Resolution No. 22-592.  One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is that “affordable housing opportunities be available to all who live or work in Prince William County to purchase or rent safe, quality, affordable housing within their means.”  The Committed Affordable For-Rent and For- Sale Unit(s) Program aligns with that goal through voluntary proffers offered by developers, which are identified as committed affordable dwelling units. For additional information refer to Appendix A of the Housing Chapter found at: Housing Chapter.

The Committed Affordable For-Sale Units Program component provides for affordable housing units that are affordable for households with income at or below eighty percent (80%) and workforce housing units available to households with income at or below one-hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD HUD area median income adjusted for household size as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and updated annually.

Program Implementation

The Committed Affordable Rental and For-Sale Units Programs are implemented through voluntary proffers from housing developers, local resources, and local guidelines, policies and procedures.  The programs will be implemented according to each development approved affordable housing applicable proffers.
