Comments

Virginia Housing Coalition writes:

The Virginia Housing Coalition supports this study resolution. Bills in both chambers seeking to add LGBT Virginians to the protected classes under the Virginia Fair Housing Law have failed, and this bill would have likely provided critical evidence towards advancing those bills next session.
