With the mission of improving access to safe and affordable housing, the Virginia Housing Coalition is a 501(c)(4) organization founded in 1981 dedicated specifically to supporting organizations and individuals working to provide affordable housing options in Virginia by influencing and developing public policy, recognizing exemplary achievement, and providing education, training and services that will make its members more effective in attaining their goals. Through the Virginia Housing Coalition, representatives of local and regional groups can identify housing issues of common concern and develop effective strategies to address them. Virginia Housing Coalition leaders serve as spokespersons on housing-related issues for lower-income Virginians, giving voice to housing, community and economic development concerns in policy debates at the state and federal levels.
Virginia Housing Coalition membership is open to all individuals and organizations statewide interested in housing issues. Members include representatives from housing, community development and homeless advocacy nonprofits, public housing agencies, regional coalitions, financial institutions and corporations, legal and realty firms, community action agencies and interested individuals. Members receive newsletters and other materials on hearings, legislation, state and federal funding opportunities, housing needs, and new ideas relating to housing for all Virginians without adequate housing.
