VAMA's Manager of Government Affairs, Tommy Herbert, provides an update on housing-related legislation that came out of Virginia's recent special session. 
Take a look at the latest update on the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey. Using their Interactive Tool, you can view percentages reported from each state on items like "likelihood of eviction" and much more.
Nearly 60% of voters opposed the state's latest rent control proposal, Proposition 21. The local apartment association, knowing rent control is not the answer to CA's housing affordability crisis, is hoping for changes in the legislature that allow for building more affordable housing.

Development News
Investors broke ground Wednesday at the future site of the Vue, a new professional housing community. The Vue's 207 units will be in walking distance of Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center (CRC). 
Three area agencies are working together to redevelop an old Red Carpet Inn into 60-80 units for individuals that make a certain percentage less than the area's median income. 
The proposed project would be constructed at the site of Laurel Park shopping center, and would include 350 apartments and 12,000 square feet of commercial space. 
Newport News Redevelopment & Housing Authority says construction will begin on two apartment buildings between 27th and 29th Streets at the beginning of the year. Next, the authority will focus on financing housing in the Ridley Place neighborhood of the city, all as part of their Choice Neighborhood Initiative. 
It's been nearly two years since the city developed a plan to demolish half of the area's public housing and redevelop along St. Paul's Blvd. Over the next two years, we can expect four new apartment communities to rise from the dust. 
Shiplock Views, a five-story apartment community at the foot of Libby Hill, is making progress as foundations have been laid and elevator shafts installed.
