Northern Virginia Affordable Housing Alliance

Our public outreach and education extends to other community-based organizations, members of faith communities, financial institutions, the business community and housing advocates. The Alliance shows how decent, affordable housing opportunities connect to other issues such as family and employment stability, the academic achievement of children, and the overall economic well-being and sustainability of our communities.

We sponsor events with noted speakers, discussion groups and training sessions on housing topics of interest. In addition, we help citizens and larger community stakeholders gain a better understanding of their jurisdiction’s decision-making process on land use and regulatory policies and their impact on the preservation and production of affordable housing.

The work is important because without a strong basis for understanding the community value of affordable housing and broad-based support for policies and resources to support that housing, preservation and production cannot occur. What is critical is not the housing units we seek to create or preserve, but the quality of life for the people who live in them.
