NVAR Legislative Program

Every spring, NVAR compiles legislative and regulatory policy goals for the coming year into a document called the NVAR Legislative Program.

The Legislative Program is developed over several months based on feedback given by NVAR members. The process begins in March, when NVAR committees and forums are asked to submit issues to the NVAR Public Policy Committee for consideration. Individual Realtors® may also submit issues to the committee. A task force researches these issues and recommends pertinent ones for inclusion in the Legislative Program.

Once a draft program has been developed, the Public Policy Committee reviews it and sends a final draft to NVAR’s Board of Directors for consideration. Following approval by the Board, NVAR forwards the program to the Virginia Association of Realtors® for inclusion in the statewide list of legislative priorities.

An important component of the issues we look at is your voice. If you have suggestions for items we should be looking into please email us at govaffairs@nvar.com OR fill out this quick form.

Be A Part of the Regional Housing Equity Plan

Jul 2, 2021, 12:50 PM by User Not Found

By Victoria Milbourne

The Fairfax County Government and the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority are partnering with surrounding jurisdictions and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) to recognize racial inequalities in the housing market. This identification will be done through the creation of a Regional Housing Equity Plan, also known as a Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. To effectively create this plan, they must hear the voices within the community. Diverse experiences, perspectives, concerns and ideas are all valued and important to identifying and resolving equity challenges that occur on a neighborhood level.

COG will be hosting three workshop sessions to begin the dialogue on Housing, Equity and Race: Fair Housing in the DMV Region. Workshop participants will engage in discussion on the history housing and race. Additionally, participants will share their real-life experiences to convey the challenges and inequalities that still exist throughout the Virginia, Maryland, and DC region. These sessions will help real estate agents get a better understanding of how they can combat inequality in housing.

The sessions will take place on:

July 14, 2021 (6:30p.m. – 9p.m.)

July 22, 2021 (6:30p.m. – 9p.m.)

July 31, 2021 (9:30a.m. – 12p.m.).
