What is the VI Slice Program?
The VI Slice Moderate Income Homeownership Program is designed to bridge the gap for Virgin Islanders who can afford a monthly mortgage payment but lack the large 20% down payment typically required in the territory.
How It Works
Gap Financing
The program provides up to $100,000 (for down payments and closing costs) or up to $200,000 aggregate to complete your home purchase or construction.Forgivable Grant
This gap financing turns into a grant (meaning you don't have to pay it back) as long as you maintain the home as your primary residence for 10 years.Who It's For
Moderate-income, first-time homebuyers looking to plant permanent roots in the USVI.
