Henrico plan would help county employees buy homes

Henrico County officials are considering a plan that would provide loans of up to $20,000 to first-time homebuyers who work for the county.

If eventually adopted as envisioned, the Henrico County Home Purchase Assistance Plan would provide loans of between $10,000 and $20,000 for as many as 120 county employees, to be used toward down payments on the purchase of an attached or detached single-family house or condominium in the county.

Virginia college and university students need more support to be successful in higher education, according to a new report from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. These supports should focus on college/life preparedness; basic needs; sense of belonging; and mental health and well-being.
