%22SPARC is allowing me the opportunity to purchase my first home; something I thought wouldn’t be possible until interest rates dropped to fit my budget. It’s an incredible, underrecognized program that’s truly changing lives across Virginia. By offering below-market interest rates through participating lenders, SPARC expands access to affordable housing and strengthens our communities. It’s not just assistance, it’s a pathway to homeownership and stability%22.
