We are launching a new outreach and education campaign…
HousingForward Virginia announces the launch of ZONED OUT. This new comprehensive outreach and education campaign will spread awareness and educate community leaders about the impacts of restrictive zoning practices on housing supply and affordability.
ZONED OUT leverages the Virginia Zoning Atlas, an innovative tool that visualizes and simplifies complex zoning codes to educate Virginians on the many ways restrictive zoning contributes to the housing challenges we face today. ZONED OUT offers multiple virtual and in-person session offerings to communities across Virginia, bringing data and information on zoning directly to you.
But knowledge alone is not enough…
We want to ensure attendees and members of the public know how to take action around zoning issues. To that end, we have partnered with YIMBY Action and YIMBY Law to raise awareness about local community advocacy strategies and opportunities.
From March to December 2026, HousingForward Virginia is offering free, virtual and in-person sessions for organizations, communities, and other interested groups across Virginia. In partnership with practitioners and educators at Incremental Development Alliance, we have crafted accessible content for these sessions that clearly demonstrates the relationship between housing and vibrant, inclusive communities.
