Housing & Community Development

The Metropolitan Washington Regional Fair Housing Plan outlines the goals, strategies, and priorities that we’ll focus on to: Reduce housing discrimination Reverse patterns of racial segregation Improve access and opportunities for all current and future residents.

The program is designed to offer financial assistance to owner-occupied residents of Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park to correct health and safety issues as well as to increase energy efficiency within their properties. The County receives Community Development Block (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to finance this program.

FTHB provides loans for down payment and closing cost assistance to First-Time Homebuyers who are low and moderate-income residents or persons working in the Prince William Area (Prince William County, the City of Manassas or Manassas Park) through the use of federal funding.

In July 2021, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors initiated amendments to the zoning text and county code to create an Affordable Housing Dwelling Unit Ordinance that would help people with incomes at or below the area median income live in the county while maintaining a basic lifestyle and meeting basic living needs.
