Alliance Action Alert: VA Housing Costs Rank Sixth Nationwide

Did you know that Virginia's housing costs rank sixth in the nation? What could be done do to bring the cost of housing back within reach for our citizens?

In a recent interview with the Washington Business Journal, Chuck Anderson, President and CEO of the United Way of the National Capital Area stated that a survey of United Way donors found that two issues - affordable housing and childhood obesity - towered above other issues of concern. Mr. Anderson commented that "these will be our top two [issues] because they are what donors care about and I'm a big believer in listening to the donors." The Alliance welcomes United Way's focus on affordable housing and looks forward to working with them to develop solutions that address the critical housing needs in our region.
