Description

Virginia Housing Development Authority; work group to establish Virginia Good Neighbor Next Door program. Directs the Virginia Housing Development Authority to convene a stakeholder work group to establish a plan for the creation of a Virginia Good Neighbor Next Door program, similar to the Good Neighbor Next Door program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, to provide financial incentives for law-enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, and teachers to purchase homes within designated revitalization areas in the localities in which they are employed. The bill requires the work group to report its findings and recommendations, including any legislative recommendations, to the Governor and the Chairmen of the House Committee on General Laws and the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology no later than July 1, 2022.
