Advocating for abundant housing in Virginia.

About us

The Commonwealth Housing Coalition is an advocacy coalition of allied organizations from across Virginia, all working together to advocate for common-sense, bipartisan legislation that ensures all Virginians have access to an affordable home.

We support building more homes close to jobs and businesses, legalizing accessory dwelling units (aka “granny flats”), and building more family-size apartment buildings across the state. We also believe that churches and religious organizations should be allowed to build affordable housing on their property through a streamlined zoning process, allowing them to fulfill their mission in and for the communities they serve.
