About the event
Use a couple hours of your time and your presence to advocate for a way to alleviate Virginia's worsening housing crisis.
Housing costs are skyrocketing. The number of homes we’re building each year has plummeted—even as our population and workforce have grown. The result is that over 50% of seniors living alone are severely housing-cost burdened. Zoning is the bottleneck.
This is a critical moment for housing justice in Virginia. With the 2026 General Assembly and gubernatorial election on the horizon, VOICE and our allies in the Commonwealth Housing Coalition are coming together to demand bold statewide action to address the housing shortage and unlock opportunity for all. This action will be a powerful display of people power—lifting up the voices of diverse faith communities and allies supporting housing champions at the local and state level, united around a shared vision of housing abundance.
We need you to attend to…
