Tell Virginia Leaders: Sign the Strongest Faith in Housing Bill The clock is ticking. The Faith in Housing bill (SB388 / HB1279) is now awaiting action from Gov. Abigail Spanberger, with a decision deadline of April 13 at midnight. Opponents are pushing hard to water the bill down or stop it entirely. We can’t let that happen. Virginia’s housing shortage is pushing costs higher and forcing people out of the communities they love. The Faith in Housing bill (SB388 / HB1279) is a practical step forward, unlocking land owned by faith communities and nonprofits to build homes people can actually afford. Now we need your voice to make sure it becomes law and stays strong. What This Bill Does Opens the door for faith congregations and some tax-exempt nonprofits to build affordable housing on their land Creates a streamlined pathway to get these homes built faster Helps teachers, first responders, healthcare workers, and seniors stay in their communities What’s at Stake This bill has strong support, but it could still be weakened or vetoed. Small technical amendments are needed to ensure it works as intended. Without them, we risk losing real housing opportunities. Take Action Now Send a message to Gov. Spanberger and your state legislators urging them to support the bill in its strongest form. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-virginia-leaders-sign-the-strongest-faith-in-housing-bill/
