(RECAP: It’s not surprising that for the past decade, most of the discussion of affordable housing needs in Virginia has focused on urbanized areas with growing populations and rapidly increasing housing costs. Surrounding these metro areas, however, are rural communities struggling with slow or negative population growth, along with a unique set of housing challenges that have almost faded from view. However, just because the population center in Virginia continues to move north and east doesn’t mean we can or should neglect the challenges of those Virginians living in rural areas. For the past year, Housing Virginia has been engaged in an effort to explore housing trends and needs throughout the state’s rural regions. The work included partnering with the Virginia Association of Realtors to host meetings with rural stakeholders across the state. The results of these efforts are published in a report titled The State of Housing in Rural Virginia: Changing Needs, Challenges and Opportunities. The report will be released and presented at the Governor’s Housing Conference, which begins today in Roanoke.)
