2021 Virginia Partner Profiles
All Points Broadband
All Points is the largest and fastest growing rural-facing Internet service provider in the mid-Atlantic and a three-time honoree (in 2018-2020) on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing privately held companies. We empower communities by bringing utility grade broadband to underserved markets, and presently offer service in several market areas in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky. In the past six months, All Points has secured more than $50 million in state and federal grants and other stakeholder contributions to deploy broadband networks in partnership with underserved counties and electric utility partners in Virginia. In the most recent Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) cycle, All Points partnered with the Northern Neck Planning District Commission for a successful, universal FTTH project across five counties that serves as the example for how to leverage partnerships between PDCs, electric utilities, and an ISP to close the digital divide.

Since its creation in 1972 by the Virginia General Assembly, Virginia Housing has helped Virginians attain quality, affordable housing through public-private partnerships with local governments, community service organizations, lenders, realtors, developers and many others. Virginia Housing provides mortgages for first-time homebuyers, as well as financing for apartment communities and neighborhood revitalization efforts. They offer free homebuyer classes, support housing counseling, and help people with disabilities and the elderly make their homes more livable. They also administer the federal Housing Choice Voucher and Housing Credit programs in Virginia. Virginia Housing is self-supporting and receives no state taxpayer dollars to fund its programs. Instead, they raise money in the capital markets, and contribute a significant portion of their net revenues each year to help meet Virginia’s housing needs.
