Affordable Housing

This bill adds a part to the Code of Virginia about rules that make sure homes are built at prices regular people can afford, as accessible places to live  

• These rules are called “affordable dwelling unit ordinances”

• Code of Virginia: Collection of all the laws and rules in the state of Virginia. It organizes these laws by topic, like education, transportation, or health, so people can easily find and understand the rules that affect them. It’s like the official rulebook for how things are done in Virginia.

• Local areas with an affordable dwelling unit ordinance can make it so that a certain amount of living spaces meet specific standards.

• These new rules are meant to make sure available housing is accessible and usable for physically disabled people.
