Virginia Housing will begin a review of the current Minimum Design and Construction Requirements (MDCR) shortly. Modifications to the MDCR will affect:

  • Rental Housing loan applications submitted during the 2027 calendar year
  • Developments receiving 2027 Low Income Housing Tax Credits 

The MDCR Committee would like your feedback on the current requirements. For those interested, please forward your comments and suggestions to [email protected]

Comments must be received by April 3, 2026, to be considered in the review process. Due to the expected volume of comments, a formal response to each comment cannot be guaranteed. Please click 2026 Minimum Design & Construction Requirements to access the current MDCR.
