Affordable Housing in Virginia: This Study Started with RMA
April 2018: The front page of The New York Times features Richmond, Virginia, as the U.S. city with the second highest eviction rate in the nation. Two months earlier, RMA had established a Housing Committee to educate and advocate for affordable housing. By the Fall of 2019, RMA members were leading a state League policy study that is now heading to conclusion.
In this meeting, the RMA member who initiated the process, Alice Tousignant, will report the findings of the study. The following week, RMA members will participate in a meeting to come to Consensus on the questions posed by the study.
About League Positions: The League takes “Positions” on local, state, and national public policies; those Positions are the grounds for League education and advocacy. League positions are the outcome of extensive, objective research followed by a grassroots discussion to arrive at consensus on the topic. This grassroots process ensures that our advocacy is well-considered by a broad range of our members. Leagues cannot act absent a supporting Position, and no one may speak for the League without adhering to the Position.
