VHDA was created as an independent political subdivision of the state. VHDA is subject to certain supervisory powers of the governor and the state of Virginia’s General Assembly. VHDA is required to submit annually to the governor a report of its operating and financial status, and VHDA’s annual financial statements are subject to review by the Auditor of Public Accounts. VHDA receives no state appropriations for its operations and is fully self-supporting from the revenues generated by its programs. |
