WVHDF's Homeownership Program combines homebuyer education with financial assistance, taking a holistic approach to preparing buyers for successful long-term ownership. The program includes DPA alongside comprehensive counseling.

West Virginia's unique economic challenges — lower median incomes and a transitioning economy — make homebuyer preparation especially important. The program's education component helps buyers understand not just how to purchase a home, but how to maintain and grow their investment over time.
