Regional Housing Partnership

The Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership facilitates regional coordination to ensure access to housing for all.

About

An official advisory board for housing

The Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership facilitates regional coordination to ensure access to housing for all. The Regional Housing Partnership (RHP) serves as an official advisory board, created by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, in partnership with the public, private, nonprofit, and citizen stakeholders.

Composed of an overarching consortium of housing interests, the Partnership enhances regional coordination and effectiveness to address the housing needs of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District’s region, with a focus on housing production, diversity, accessibility, cost, location, design, and increasing stability for the region’s residents.
