However, indirect costs were allocated using a rate of 21.9% during the year ended June 30, 2024.

NVFS has several forgivable notes payable representing Community Development Block Grants and Neighborhood Stabilization Program loan funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Prince William County Department of Housing and Community Development. The loans are scheduled to be forgiven if certain conditions are met. The loans are collateralized by the real estate that NVFS purchased using the loan proceeds (either a house or the SERVE campus). If NVFS sells the underlying real estate prior to the maturity date of any of the loans, the loan related to the property would be payable immediately. However, NVFS intends to retain the properties associated with the loans beyond their maturity dates. The forgivable loans are non-interest bearing. When a loan is forgiven, NVFS reports a gain on forgiveness of note payable in the statement of activities. However, no loans were forgiven during the year ended June 30, 2024. The loans are forgivable upon maturity at various dates from 2039 to 2044.
The schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the highest balance due on the forgivable loans at any point during the year ended June 30, 2024.
The following summarizes the balances of the forgivable loans outstanding at June 30, 2024 and 2023, which have been included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
