makes it a wonderful place to live. Located in the rolling Central

Piedmont region near the heart of Virginia, Louisa County is within 500 miles of one-half of the nation’s pop-ulation. With a population of close to 33,000 people and two incorporat-ed towns: Louisa, which is the county seat, and Mineral, Louisa County’s 514 square miles are predominantly farm and forests, mixed with busi-ness, industrial, and residential prop-erties. Although considered an agri-cultural and rural residential county, it is one of the more rapidly growing counties in Virginia.

A Great Place To Raise a Family

With a wide range of community events, classic country living in his-toric homes or modern ones around the county or on Lake Anna, and easy connections to additional shop-ping, arts, and entertainment, Louisa County offers a wonderful alterna-tive to live, work, and raise a family.

“You can describe Louisa County’s quality of life, economic vitality and housing opportunities in one word, diversity,” said James Dickerson of RE/MAX Assured Properties. “I love showing Louisa County real estate to buyers relocating to the area since we have homes in three golf course com-munities (soon to be four with the addition of Cutalong at Lake Anna), multiple waterfront communities, mini-farms to 100+ acres estates, starter homes to luxury homes, gated and un-gated neighborhoods, etc., plus lots of available land parcels of varying size for new construction cus-tom homes. Buyers not already famil-iar with Louisa County are wowed by the number of housing options.”

Historic Downtown Louisa still has a charming village atmosphere where browsers can shop and dine. Stores, churches, offices, and residences, some dating from the 18th century, create a

back-to-the-past ambiance. For those interested in the area’s history, the Historical Society Museum showcases memorabilia from another era. If your family has roots in the county, family genealogies can be researched in the records of the Louisa County Court-house. In addition, there is The Green Springs National Historic Landmark District that encompasses 14,000 acres of fertile agricultural land and

more than 250 original eighteenth and nineteenth century homes, barns and other outbuildings.

Recreation is plentiful. “The coun-ty calendar is filled with community fairs, parades, and events (music fes-tivals, historical reenactments & pre-sentations, winery events, fish fries, barbeque fundraisers, Relay for Life, youth sports, farmers markets, etc.) based around the seasons and holi-days,” said Dickerson. “Every week-end you can find a fun event with the challenge often being which event to enjoy from the numerous offerings.”

The jewel of Louisa County’s rec-reational treasure chest is Lake Anna. The lake is approximately 17 miles long containing 13,000 acres of clean water for boating and fishing. “Loui-sa County has always been known for the hunting and fishing opportuni-ties available across the county plus canoeing and kayaking the rivers and lakes,” said Dickerson.

Industrial developments continue

to grow. “In addition to the tradi-tionally rural farming and timber based economies that have support-ed families for years, Louisa’s Indus-trial Development Authority and the Board of Supervisors worked towards the future, recruiting and helping businesses across the county from Lake Anna to Gordonsville to Zion Crossroads to the Industrial Air Park to Shannon Hill and pretty much everywhere in between,” said Dicker-son. “The businesses (manufactur-ing, hospitality, retail, and service) provide jobs helping to keep many of our high school graduates from flee-ing the county in search of jobs.”

Dickerson, who has lived in Lou-isa since the early 1970s, continues to meet new people and find new ac-tivities around the county. “ Louisa County has always had a strong sense of community pride with neighbors coming together to help neighbors. This was exemplified to the nation after last year’s earthquake as citi-zens, churches, social organizations, business and local government came together to help displaced schools, homeowners and renters.”

Dickerson ended by saying: “Di-versity really does sum up the eco-nomic vitality, quality of life and housing found in Louisa County.”

With a wide range of com-munity events, classic country living in historic homes or mod-ern ones, shop-ping, arts, and entertainment, Louisa County offers a wonder-ful alternative to live, work, and raise a family.

Back in 2004, members of the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® de-cided to take action about a growing problem we face in

our area. At that time they recognized that many of the essential members of our workforce were unable to pur-chase a home in the community in which they worked, forcing them to commute from elsewhere. The RE-ALTORS® decided to focus on four essential workers—police officers, fire fighters, nurses and teachers—and find a way to assist them to become homeowners in Charlottesville or one of the surrounding counties of Albemarle, Greene, Nelson, Fluvanna or Louisa.

The solution was the CAAR Work-force Housing Fund (CWHF). Ad-ministered by Piedmont Housing Alliance (PHA), these funds can be used to help qualified home buyers

pay for closing costs and pre-paids. While the funds can’t be used to-wards required down payments, for example the 3.5 percent that must be put down on an FHA loan, they can be used to increase down payments, reducing the amount of the main mortgage and therefore the monthly payment. They also could help some-one purchase more house for the same monthly payment.

Ginny Barefoot, a REALTOR® with Roy Wheeler Realty who also serves on the PHA Board explained, “ We are happy to be able to help these people who work so hard to serve our com-munity. It’s a great opportunity for us to be able to help them purchase a house and enjoy all the benefits of liv-ing close to where they work.”

Workforce Housing is a National Concern

Concerns about workforce hous-ing focus on finding quality places to live for people who work in a particu-

lar community but whose incomes prevent them from buying a home there. In our area, for example, over 70 percent of the police force lives in Waynesboro because the officers can’t afford Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Typically workforce hous-ing solutions are for those whose incomes are between 80 and 120 per-cent of the area’s median. These are individuals who can’t afford local housing, but make too much money to qualify for many of the income sensitive mortgage programs.

For most people, living near their work is important for many reasons. For example, a big one is that it just makes life easier. Long commutes are time consuming and stressful, be-coming more so when the weather is bad or there is fog to contend with. They make an already long workday longer and take away from leisure time with family and friends.

From the perspective of the larger community, it helps to have a work-force that is happy about where they live and fully committed to the mu-nicipality in which they work. If, on the other hand, individuals work in one place but live elsewhere, their loyalties are split. While they may develop ties to the community where their job is, they also develop loyalties to their place of residence through neighborhood friends and acquain-tances, through their children’s ac-tivities at school or through volun-teer activities.

Communities have other big in-centives to help their workers find nearby housing. Chances are when these individuals choose to give back,

it is during their free time which means they are more likely to volun-teer in the community where they live and where their children are, de-priving the place where they work of their time and talents.

In addition, when many people are forced to commute in from outlying areas, both air pollution and conges-tion on the roads are worse, increas-ing local costs and decreasing the quality of life. At the same time, many of the taxes these commuters pay end up in the coffers of the community where they live so are not available to help offset these costs.

On the other hand, when some-one works and lives in the same community they have the benefit of knowing that their taxes support the police force that pays their salary or the school where they work and/or send their children Finally, when fire fighters, police officers and medi-cal personnel live elsewhere, it takes them longer to get to work in the event of an emergency; something that could endanger the rest of us.

The CAAR Workforce Housing Fund

The CAAR Workforce Housing Fund was created by the real estate community to help alleviate this situation, contribute to a happier more productive workforce, and at-tract better quality workers. At a fo-rum on this topic, which was held in 2007, Jeff Gaffney of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III, pointed out that the vast majority of our lo-cal police officers live in Waynesboro. In addition, he stated that Albemarle County was having difficulty hiring teachers because candidates were dis-couraged by the lack of affordable, close-in places to live. He referred to the CWHF as a “recruiting and re-tention tool” that could potentially influence an excellent employee to choose our area over another one.

The CWHF helps critical members of the workforce find housing by pro-viding assistance with closing costs and down payment up to 5 percent of the sales price of the home, which cannot exceed $325,000. Participants must purchase a home in the area in which they work, however Albemarle and Charlottesville are considered one jurisdiction for these purposes. Homebuyers are required to contrib-ute at least 1 percent of the purchase price, which can include the cost of their appraisal, credit report and/or home inspection.

To be eligible for the CWHF, participants must meet the VHDA first-time homebuyer income limits, which are $70,000 with two or less people in the household and $81,000

if household size exceeds two. This and other loan requirements are en-forced by PHA, which administers the fund and assures that borrowers also complete their first-time home-buyer classes just like someone apply-ing for a VHDA loan.

“A big plus of this program is that buyers don’t have to be first-time home buyers,” said Catherine Pot-ter, a lender with Suntrust Mortgage. This is an advantage over other down payment and closing cost assistance programs, most of which impose this restriction. She referenced one of her clients who is a teacher. Recently di-vorced, she had been part owner of a previous home with her spouse, but nevertheless was able to use the CWHF program to purchase a house for herself and her two daughters. The money was used to pay down what she borrowed on the first mort-gage, and without it, Potter said, she would have had a much tougher time finding an affordable house.

Another benefit of this program is that payments on the loan are not due until the home is sold, which means use of the money does not affect the buyer’s debt-to-income ratio when their lender determines how much they can borrow on their main mortgage. When they repay the loan they also pay 6 percent per year simple interest on the amount they borrowed.

Repayment of the loans, plus RE-ALTOR® fund raising activities, help keep the CWHF in business. In years past, CAAR sponsored ben-efit concerts with big names such as B.B. King and Bruce Hornsby to help raise money. They also hosted smaller events like Broker Bartender Night where a percentage of money paid for drinks went to support the CWHF. In addition, many CAAR members make regular contributions to the fund.

The Workforce Housing Fund in Action

According to Donna Thacker of the Piedmont Housing Alliance, the CWHF has provided assistance in the amount of $351,488 since its incep-tion. As a result, 40 essential workers are now homeowners in our commu-nity including three police officers, five fire fighters, two nurses and thir-ty teachers.

One of them is Mary Johnston, who has been a first grade teacher at Clark Elementary School in Charlottesville for six years. She is also a single mom with a daughter who will soon start kindergarten.

Today they are getting ready to cele-brate the one-year anniversary of buy-ing and moving into their new home. Prior to that, she and her daughter

lived nearby in a rental. She loves the location, which is a quick commute to school and her daughter, who she said is “into directions,” likes to be able to point out that the new home is close to where they used to live.

Johnston decided to buy because she felt it made sense financially to invest in her own home rather than continue to rent. As a first time buyer, she looked into some of the available down pay-ment assistance programs, but found she didn’t qualify because her income is too high. In addition to her regular job, she teaches summer school and does after school tutoring.

She did, however, qualify for the CWHF money and used it to pay her closing costs. Her agent, Janice Ka-vanaugh with Nest Realty, explained that without the CAAR funds John-ston would have had little in the way of cash reserves after purchasing her home. The CAAR money made it pos-sible for her to move forward, buy a home and still feel financially stable.

Both Johnston and Kavanaugh had a lot of praise for PHA and the services they offer their clients. Johnston appre-ciated the homebuyer classes, which she said helped her become more knowledgeable about the process. “I could have read a book and learned some of the same information,” she said, “but the staff at PHA explained things well and made it easy.”

PHA also provides counseling for their buyers to help prepare them for getting a mortgage. Johnston said “they worked with me and helped me with some of my outstanding debt.” She was advised to pay down some of her bills and find ways to lower the interest paid on some others. They also helped her through the process of getting a deferment on payment of a college loan. This made it possible for her to obtain a favorable mortgage loan with payments she could afford.

Kavanaugh also appreciated PHA’s help. Thanks to their advice and preparation, Mary’s transaction was very smooth. “They kept us informed all along the way and met with Mary often to keep things on track. They were very informed, stuck with it and knew all the ins and outs,” she said.

Kavanaugh was the agent for an-other CWFH client, also a teacher, a few years ago. That transaction was also easy and proceeded with few if any of the kinds of challenges that are common in real estate transactions. Kavanaugh believes a lot of that has to do with PHA’s experience and persis-tence and she encourages anyone who qualifies for this fund to take advan-tage of what it has to offer.
