Housing Commission Begins Work


Workgroups of the Virginia Housing Commission met this week in conjunction with the special session of the General Assembly.  They received background information regarding issues of concern, but did not begin significant discussion of policy issues.  Workgroups are expected to consider two proposals advanced by advocacy groups that are of particular concern to AOBA members: mandatory retrofitting of automatic sprinkler systems in high rise properties, and adding “source of income” to the list of prohibited considerations under fair housing law.
