Federal ‘Yes In God’s Backyard’ bill could help Va. faith-based groups build affordable housing • Virginia Mercury
On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, helped launch the latest congressional effort to create more affordable housing solutions in the commonwealth and across the country by introducing the Yes In God’s Backyard Act. The measure would allow faith-based organizations to develop housing on unused land they already own and help fund the effort.
