U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner has introduced new legislation aimed at making housing more affordable for Virginians.
The bill proposes expanded funding and resources to support housing development, including opportunities that may benefit faith-based organizations exploring how their land and buildings can serve community needs.
Senator Warner’s proposal builds on a series of housing-focused initiatives intended to address Virginia’s shortage of affordable options for families and individuals. The legislation emphasizes partnerships between government, nonprofits, and private entities to unlock new pathways for housing creation.
For congregations and organizations working with Virginia Episcopal Real Estate Partners (VEREP), this type of legislation could strengthen opportunities to redevelop church property for mission-aligned purposes such as housing, childcare, or community services.
