Housing affordability is a critical challenge throughout Virginia-a challenge heightened by the recent recession and continuing economic turmoil, as well as problems with transportation and sprawling development, according to a new report released by Housing Virginia and the Southern Environmental Law Center. Recent estimates are that almost 30% of all homeowners and almost half of all renters in Virginia-a total of almost one million people-have housing costs above the level typically considered affordable. And moving farther out in search of affordable housing often leads to higher transportation costs that eat up any savings on housing. In addition to examining these and other challenges stemming from the failure to link jobs, transportation, and housing, the report outlines a range of practical, workable solutions and opportunities to build a better future for Virginia's communities.
