Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program

The Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) program provides affordable rental and homeownership opportunities.  Housing is available to those who meet income, credit and homeownership status eligibility requirements with priority given to applicants who currently live and work in the county.

Pilot ADU Rental and Purchase Program new

As of September 22, 2009, the ADU program will no longer include income earned from overtime when calculating total gross household income.  

If it is determined that an applicant/co-applicant exceeds income guidelines for their household size solely because of income earned from overtime, that income will not be included when determining eligibility for the program.  This pilot program is for a one year period and will be reassessed upon its conclusion. 

For pre-eligibility screening, contact the ADU Program Screener at 703-737-8043.

ADU Purchase

This program enables eligible first time homebuyers, with moderate income, the opportunity to purchase a newly constructed or resale ADU townhouse or condominium.

First-time homebuyers desiring to purchase a home must have a total household income more than 30% and less than 70% (65% for condominium purchases) of the area median income (based on the Primary Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area). Prices typically range from approximately $120,000 to $180,000.

These properties are subject to restrictive covenants related to refinancing and transfer of the property. The homes are located throughout Loudoun County. Preliminary eligibility restrictions apply to the program.
