The League of Women Voters of Virginia supports HB1879 because there are an estimated 347,000 Virginians who qualify for the Federal Housing Choice Voucher Program but are unable to receive one due to limited Federal funds. This Pilot will enable eligible families with children to pay only 30% of their monthly income on rent, allowing them to pay other needed expenses. This will help maintain families in their housing and give children a stable place to live.
