Virginia Housing and the U.S. Military Virginia Housing began its partnership with the military with the mission of educating military service members and their families about the home buying process from start to finish and how to stay on track as a responsible homeowner. The benefits of the partnership include teaching onsite military homebuyer education classes, and combining the expertise of military financial educators with that of Virginia Housing’s housing education team. Participants have an opportunity to interact with local subject matter experts, including nonprofits, lenders, real estate agents, home inspectors, and settlement agents who share their knowledge and experience about homeownership.
