Blueprint Virginia 2025 calls for housing programs that will support the needs of our growing population. According to the study, by 2025, Virginia’s population will add over 1 million more residents. Virginia will need a workforce to fill 800K more jobs, in addition to the 1 million jobs vacated by a retiring workforce.
To strengthen and secure the Commonwealth’s position as a global economic leader and the best state in the nation for doing business, the report provides the following recommendations for all stakeholders:
• Enact policies to support workforce housing, including addressing land use issues and constraints on the construction and housing industries.
• Continue to support state incentives and programs that promote housing development and redevelopment efforts in our communities.
VHDA Executive Director Susan Dewey served as a member of the Blueprint Virginia 2025 Advisory Council. As a stakeholder, VHDA will use the report to continue to support Virginia’s economy by providing quality, affordable housing.
