Elected and Lead Spotlights

Housing security determines so much about who and what we are and what we can do. Our health - our mental health, our choices, our incomes are tied to whether or not we have housing. That’s why it’s important for us to build housing at all levels.

With the cost of housing skyrocketing in Virginia it is more important than ever that we implement policies that build up our housing stock. Increasingly working families and younger people are being priced out of their communities, that is unacceptable.l

Nowhere is the housing shortage more pronounced than LA, the city I call home. We need a societal culture shift in terms of how we think about and approach housing. I was inspired to become a Lead and am proud to be working to turn the ship around.
