Housing

All Virginians deserve access to clean, safe, and affordable housing regardless of their income, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, or if they are returning citizens. We support legislation that will:

  1. Invest in more affordable housing, implement eviction prevention programs, and increase tenant protections, including rent control.
  2. Establish source of income, gender identity, and sexual orientation as protected classes in Virginia’s Fair Housing Act.
  3. Allow tenants more time to pay past due rent before landlords can file for an eviction case.
  4. Ensure that tenants have the proper protections, including the fundamental right to live in homes that are clean, safe, and affordable.
  5. End blanket bans that prevent returning citizens from obtaining affordable and stable housing.
  6. Establish a dedicated corporate tax to help address Virginia’s housing crisis and fund affordable housing for communities vulnerable to displacement.

Todas las personas en Virginia merecen acceso a viviendas limpias, seguras y asequibles independientemente de sus ingresos, identidad de género, orientación sexual, estado migratorio o si son individuos previamente encarcelados. Apoyamos la legislación que:

  1. Invertirá en viviendas más asequibles, implementará programas de prevención de desalojos y aumentará la protección de los inquilinos, incluyendo el control de rentas.
  2. Establecerá fuente de ingresos, identidad de género y orientación sexual como clases protegidas bajo la Ley de Equidad de Vivienda de Virginia.
  3. Permitirá que los inquilinos tengan más tiempo para pagar el alquiler vencido antes de que los propietarios puedan solicitar un caso de desalojo.
  4. Asegurará de que los inquilinos tengan las protecciones apropiadas, incluyendo el derecho fundamental de vivir en hogares limpios, seguros y asequibles.
  5. Pondrá fin a las prohibiciones generales que evitan que los ciudadanos previamente encarcelados obtengan viviendas asequibles y estables.
  6. Establecerá un impuesto corporativo dedicado para ayudar a abordar la crisis de vivienda de Virginia y financiar viviendas que se puedan pagar para comunidades vulnerables al desplazamiento.
