Virginia has chance for change with $1 billion infusion for affordable housing


Virginia is due at least $1 billion from the federal government for affordable housing, according to experts who gathered virtually Thursday to discuss how governments and other local beneficiaries should invest those funds on long-lasting, system-transforming programs.

The climate surrounding affordable housing has changed drastically in the past year, said Bob Adams, executive director of HousingForward Virginia, a state data and insight resource.

Roanoke examining the future of affordable housing
ROANOKE, Va. – The who’s who of housing in the Roanoke Valley gathered Thursday ahead of what they expect to be a busy summer for home buying and building.
During the Roanoke Regional Housing Network’s housing symposium, speakers predicted a more normal feel to the housing market this summer as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
Some of the drivers of affordable housing in the next five years, they say, are racial equity, housing resilience, millennial versus senior buying trends and financing; however, there are some hurdles they still have to jump through. ....

Study: Action needed to tackle affordable housing on a regional basis


An abundance of reclaimable homes sit vacant in the Roanoke Valley and Alleghany Highlands, waiting to help fill the need for affordable living, if only someone or something would regionalize an approach to bring together those and other pieces of the housing situation, said the findings of a study from the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission.
Across the studied region’s counties — Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, Franklin and Roanoke — and its cities and towns — Covington, Roanoke and Salem, Clifton Forge, Rocky Mount and Vinton — one-third of all vacant housing units are classified by U.S. Census data as “vacant other,” with potential for rehabilitation and reoccupancy, the 2020 study said. ....
