Webinar on the VI Slice Moderate Income Homeownership Program

This webinar is for moderate-income individuals and families who desire to buy or build their first home in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The primary goal of the VI Slice Program is to establish opportunities that may increase homeownership rates amongst moderate-income households in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The VI Slice Program is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021.
Webinar details:
This webinar will be conducted via Zoom, a software-based platform for video and audio communications, and via livestream and recorded on www.facebook.com/usvieda .
Topics will include how the VI Slice Program works, who is eligible for the program and more. Webinar participants can also ask questions about the program.
