Much of residential land is zoned for single family homes only, making it difficult to increase affordable hsg supply. A majority of survey participants support updating zoning to build more affordable housing and hsg types. Report link: bit.ly/3LE1oEU @VaHsgAlliance

Housing affordability is a stability and community issue. It's hard for households to feel settled and a part of a community when housing cost burdens may force them to move. Report link: bit.ly/3LE1oEU @VaHsgAlliance
