As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
HOMEs Housing Counseling and Education program expands housing opportunities for individuals and families by dismantling barriers to housing and associated wealth inequality. We focus particularly on those from communities confronting - or contending with the legacies of - housing discrimination. Our HUD-certified counselors provide counseling and education to help people gain the knowledge and financial skills necessary to access and maintain stable housing. In Fiscal Year 2024-2025, we served over one thousand clients. Our homeownership team counseled 300 clients and closed 82 loans for first-time homebuyers. Our foreclosure prevention team received intakes of over 200 people from across Virginia, and while 62% of homeowners at risk of foreclosure lose their homes, 65% of those working with HOME of VA remained in their homes. And the mobility team served 238 clients and helped 53 families relocate to areas of greater opportunity. The Housing Counseling and Education programs direct service work also provides critical touchpoints and information to our Fair Housing Advocacy program by identifying the larger, systemic barriers faced by our clients.

When Peggys mobility declined, she asked her Charlottesville landlord for reasonable accommodations like accessible parking. He refused - and evicted her for being a nuisance. Peggys sister-in-law, Pat Jaco, took her in. But Pats inaccessible house meant Peggy had to sleep in an armchair and use a portable toilet. Though Peggy eventually found accessible housing, the trauma lingered; Pat often found her crying alone. Ten months after the unlawful…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.1M to $4.6M (+327%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
86% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.

Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
