VA — Richmond wants to extend $25K homebuyer help to school staff after city workers barely used it

So the city set aside $1.3M from federal COVID relief for employee home loans, only four people used it, and now the deadline’s looming. Expand eligibility to RPS staff or watch the money boomerang back to Washington.

Richmond plans to expand homebuying assistance program to RPS employees

The program was initially reserved for city employees.

Why it matters:
This is federal relief meant to stabilize communities, not sit idle while teachers and school staff struggle with housing costs. If the city lets $1.2M lapse, it’s a policy failure with real housing consequences.
