SPARC (Sponsoring Partnerships & Revitalizing Communities)
SPARC is a special allocation of reduced rate funding made available to VHCDC to support homeownership among low-to-moderate income households (Underserved Markets) within our service areas (see below). This funding can make it possible for us to reduce the interest rate on your mortgage by 1%, making your home purchase more affordable. When combined with VIDA and other funding resources, SPARC can help make your dream of home ownership even more attainable.
SPARC funds may only be utilized with Virginia Housing Bond Programs (FHA, USDA, VA and Conventional). Funds may be used for the purchase of your primary residence. Funds may NOT be used for mortgage refinancing, investment or commercial properties. See below for Household Income Limits.
