Home. Sweet. Home.
Bay Aging’s mission includes helping people of all ages live independently in their own homes and communities for as long as possible.
Bay Aging’s Bay Housing Division provides senior apartments and complimentary services, as well as support to perform emergency home repairs, weatherization services, indoor plumbing rehabilitation, reconstruction, Housing Choice Vouchers, Legal Aid and Nationwide Aging Sources Referral Network.
Each year, Bay Aging provides safe, energy efficient housing for over 900 people and maintains the following programs.
Service-Enriched Rental Housing for Older Adults
Attractive, universally-designed and energy efficient apartment homes that provide people age 62 years and older an affordable housing alternative to promote independence. Preference given to veterans and people experiencing homelessness. Residents pay 30% of income for rent and have access to many support services that encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Weatherization Assistance Program
Assists low-income families who lack resources to invest in energy efficiency. Funds are used for energy testing, insulation, weather stripping, replacement windows and doors, replacement heating and ventilation systems.
Indoor Plumbing Rehabilitation Program
Provides 0% interest, forgivable loans for the installation of indoor plumbing to owners of substandard housing where indoor plumbing does not exist or where the existing water delivery or waste disposal systems have failed. Loan repayments are determined by the homeowner’s ability to make payments.
Housing Choice Voucher Program
A HUD and Virginia Housing-regulated program also known as Section 8 that assists very low-income families, people with disabilities and older adults to afford decent and safe housing in the private market. With tenant-based vouchers, participants have the freedom and flexibility to find their own single family or multifamily homes meeting appropriate housing quality standards and owned by a participating landlord.
Homeless Solutions
Coordinated Entry is provided for people experiencing a housing crisis to speak with a housing professional directly to assess the situation and make a referral to the most appropriate community partner.
Bay Aging is the Lead Agency for the Northern Neck Middle Peninsula Housing Coalition (NNMPHC) and provides administration, coordination, data management, and resource development to our housing partners across the region.

Community Development Block Grant
One of HUDs longest continuously run programs that provides grant funding for communities to substantially rehabilitate homes, giving low-income families a much safer and energy efficient home in which to live.
Who We Serve
For years, Mary Carter lived in a mobile home deteriorating so badly that one morning she woke up to find snakes on her bed. That’s when she turned to Bay Aging. “Once I got in touch with Bay Aging,” she said, “my life got so much better. It’s changed everything.”
