Hello, I stand in opposition of HB 160. I foresee so many problems with the passing of this bill including the opportunity to discriminate. All employers already perform background checks on various levels depending on the position. Why would this additional measure be necessary? As a property manager with over 40 years' experience, it is standard practice to secure tenant keys as well as personal information in secured locked area further resident keys have to be signed in and out for staff and contractors. Most companies have an electronic system that monitors access by assigning a code to each individual to access this bill isn't necessary and addresses issues that doesn't exist. Please vote no Thank you

Please move to report this bill. Thanks.

Please report this bill out of solidarity and respect for those who are and have been trafficked. Thank you.

Training is absolutely essential to eradicate trafficking or eliminate long-life trauma for the victims. Front line workers don't need any more stats or a 30 minutes presentation on the definition of Human Trafficking. They need to understand how the victim's mindset works and need to understand what is trauma-informed approach is? But most importantly they need to understand how to break a massive barrier between a victim and a front line worker instead of re-traumatizing them during a vehicle stop or an arrest. The first 30 sec in crucial when you meet a victim of Human Trafficking. If you know how to talk to a victim they will trust you and will co-operate. Victims will get to safety faster and officers can get the bad guys MUCH faster. It is not only good for the victim emotionally to be treated properly but believe it or not it is also financially more beneficial for any department to have properly trained individuals dealing with victims. Proper training can reduce overall victim care time and increase the chance of victims wanting to come forward to give up the real bad guys by 70%. Individuals who have never lived this experience will never be able to give proper suggestions on how to deescalate a situation. The best proven educational model is actually 80% Survivor Led and 20% Subject matter expert, an individual who has worked on cases and can offer sector-related facts and suggestions. For example, an Officer can talk about officer's safety, legislations and also a personal case study where the officer had experience with a victim that was non-co-operative but then the officer used our method and how the victim ended up coming forward and how that case also led them to solve a Murder in another county. Having Survivors train Front Line workers gives front-line workers the exact tools they can put it practice literarily on their next shift and truly potentially safe lives. Overall Survivor led training would reduce the number of hours and resources and Officer would need to use on a case, would give a real chance to victims to come forward, would also help the Officer to have much more positive experiences during these occurrences, and last and definitely not the least, if a Victim gets the proper help at the early stages, the recovery time could shrink from 15 to 20 years to 5 years or less. It means victims would get a real second chance at life instead of falling through the cracks over and over again. Did you know that when a victim falls through the cracks, it costs $780,000/ person to any government for 20 years? So why not bring in the Survivors and let them help you, the Society to heal what has been broken for so long? A perfect example of this is the platform I as a survivor am an educator to L.E and other frontline workers which is the worlds first survivor led training platform www.tconlineinstitute.com and recognized by such organizations as U.N. Etc. Submitted by Survivor Amanda Davis an educator for Timeas Cause on behalf of Timea Nagy founder of Timeas Cause the worlds first survivor led online trauma informed training platform. Timeas is a published author and a national public speaker and survivor of trafficking.

Thank you to Delegate Simonds for proposing this bill. We have sections of areas that are highly trafficked. Please please, on behalf of the women and men and especially the kids, please vote for this bill.

Please pass HB258, as we do have human trafficking in our area, and the ability for hotels to watch out for it and potentially help its victims would help get rid of organized crime. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, Members of the Sub Committee Thank you for the opportunity to briefly speak in support of HB 753, 1133 and 1137. My name is Jack Haye and I serve as President of Patrick Henry College. I am here today to speak on behalf of the religious freedoms of ministries, churches and faith-based schools like Patrick Henry College – including the protections for mission-driven employment and housing accommodations. Your conversations and deliberations today are important to all Virginians of faith and, I would say, also for Virginians of no faith because you are considering this important question: “Do organizations have the right to employ those who align with their mission both in practice and, in the case of religious organizations, those who align with the undergirding theology and doctrines that define their organizations.” A negative answer to that question has far-reaching implications for both religious and individual freedom in the Commonwealth. Answering that question in the affirmative, as I encourage you to do, protects the rights of faith-based organizations like Patrick Henry College to continue providing the unique educational opportunity that people seek from us. Thank you for your service to all Virginians.

These comments are submitted by the American Association of Christian Schools on behalf of our association and our member schools in Virginia in support of HB 753.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide written feedback on HB 753. I am the administrator of Mountain View Christian Academy in Winchester, VA and my husband serves as the senior evangelist. The leadership team of our church and school is very concerned that the Virginia Values Act is infringing upon our constitutional rights of religious freedom. Please pass this bill to ensure that religious organizations are protected in the following areas. 1. That we are not considered public accommodation. Although open to the public and evangelistic in nature in all of our ministries, we must have the ability to maintain men’s and women’s bathrooms and uphold our Judeo-Christian beliefs that we were uniquely and distinctly created as male and female. Parents who send their children to our school and daycare want the assurance that their children will not be at risk of a biological male entering a women’s bathroom or vice versa. Our mission as a church and for all ministries is to evangelize and equip so we are not inclusive in who can come into our building, but we ask that we can uphold our religious convictions for all who do attend our church, school, ballgames, events, etc. 2. That we are protected in our ability to hire and fire based on our religious convictions, core values, and biblical principles. We want to ensure that we do not have to go through litigation if we choose not to hire someone because they do not adhere to our statement of faith and biblical values or if we need to let someone go who is not living up to our code of conduct and contractual ethics. Our mission as a school is to partner with the home and the church to raise up students who are thoroughly equipped with a Christ-centered world view, thus our constituency (particularly our parents) are counting on us to hire men and women who uphold their religious convictions. Teachers are the living curriculum in the school and we must be able to make decisions according to our belief structure. 3. It must be ensured that we do not have to compromise our beliefs in housing accommodations. Although we are not a boarding school, we have colleagues who do have boarding schools and we offer many retreats and overnight activities in which we maintain a separation between our males and females in housing accommodations. Again, we are asking for the right to be able to make these decisions based on our fundamental beliefs. We are not asking this to be hateful, judgmental, or bigoted in any way. We are simply asking for the freedom that was given to us by our founding fathers to worship and operate according to our religious convictions without having restrictions placed on our Biblical values. Thank you again for the opportunity to share my thoughts. I am asking you to please support HB 753 to protect the freedom of religious organizations to adhere to their religious principles without threat of government penalty. Respectfully submitted, Minta Hardman, PhD Administrator minta.hardman@ccmv.com

Please move to report. Thank you.

I am in my 31st year of serving Roanoke Valley Christian Schools (an accredited member of the Association of Christian Schools International) as the school's administrator. RVCS is a ministry of Shenandoah Baptist Church which also oversees the ministry of Camp Eagle located in Botetourt County. I speak in support of HB 753 and ask for your support, as well.

Please see attached PDF file of the testimony of P. George Tryfiates, Director for Government Affairs, Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) in support of HB 753. ACSI is the largest Protestant school association and has 87 member schools in Virginia with over 17,000 students. This testimony is submitted on their behalf. Tryfiates is also a long-time Virginia resident. Thank you for your consideration.

HB753 religious folks have rights, Muslims and Jews should be treated with respect. HB909 against this, I would never put an Indian Hindu near an Indian Muslim. I think you need to realize that American is made up of many nations: not all of these nations get along with each other, and in the interest of peace here, some may bring those issues here with them. HB1133 may or may not be a good thing. I can see it working both ways, for and against folks.

Writing in support of HB802 | Price | Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act; enforcement by localities.

Have you tried Roll On – 200mg from JUSTCBD?

Chair and Members of the Legislature: I write in support of legislation to better allow for enforcement of health related conditions in Virginia landlord tenant law, including mold. We are particularly frustrated by the inability to effectively require addressing mold and other conditions brought to our attention in multi-family apartment buildings in our locality, due to existing legal constraints. Sincerely, Dave Snyder, Falls Church City Council

As a member of the City Council, my job is to advocate for my constituents and a growing majority of them are renters. As it stands now, local governments have little authority to require landlords to repair problems like mold and rodent infestations. We have heard and seen horrifying first hand accounts from renters that problems like these have gone uncorrected for months if not years, even after repeated pleas and work orders to their landlord or management companies. When they turn to us on the City Council, our hands are also tied. I ask that you support HB802 so that local governments can do a better job of stepping in and protecting our tenants so everyone can live in safe and healthy environments. Best regards, Letty Hardi, Vice Mayor, City of Falls Church

Greetings The Virginia State Conference NAACP Housing Committee stands in support of HB 802. Structural damage that goes unrepaired failure to provide basic repairs: Unreliable heat, broken pipes, and substandard or exposed wiring are all too common to many renters. Mold, pest infestation, and uncollected garbage are health hazards that are in violation of codes, yet resident complaints often go unanswered, or the issues aren’t properly remedied this bill gives additional support to accountability and enforcement. We ask for a vote of yes on HB802. Thank you

As a legal aid attorney specializing in housing law, I feel should give my perspective on HB802 and 803. While the change proposed in HB803 was initially codified as part of Virginia's response to the pandemic, it is a change that was already long overdue. I have seen far too many times how decent, hard-working Virginias find themselves trapped in poverty due to one bad day - one car accident, one medical emergency, one event beyond their control that sends them spiraling into debt, destitution, and homelessness. I have come to realized that housing is absolutely essential to any individual's or community's well-being - it decides where people can work, where they send their kids to school, where they put down their roots and join together with their fellow man to build a better society. Without that, people are left adrift, with no security or stability to speak of. How can we expect people to contribute to society when they don't even have the steady comfort of a roof and four walls to call home? We cannot. HB803 would help prevent that spiral. The previous regime only allowed for 5 days for a tenant who has fallen behind on rent to respond before facing court proceedings and eviction. Given how these tenants almost overwhelmingly live paycheck to paycheck, or are reliant on fixed income sources, catching up within 5 days is next to impossible. But with 14 days, tenants have enough time to get their next pay, receive their latest fixed income payment, or otherwise get what money they can together to catch back up on their rent. This extra time benefits landlords as well - even if they got an eviction judgment, they would be forced to go into months, if not years, of collection proceedings to recover the money they are owed. If tenants are given more time to catch up, landlords have that much better of a chance to actually get the money they are owed. This saves landlords the time and money in trying to find a new tenant and potentially risking the same problem, especially nowadays with our times of economic crisis, stagnant wages, and rising inflation. HB802 would also level the playing field and make housing in Virginia more affordable and fair, but in a different way. Right now, Virginia law offers little recourse for tenants who are forced to live in substandard, even dangerous housing conditions - holes in floors, constant water leaks, loose electric wires, toxic mold, crumbling ceilings, just to name a few. While tenants can assert their rights in court to have these conditions fixed when a landlord refuses to do their duty and ensure their tenants are safe and healthy, the law requires a tenant to be current on rent as a prerequisite. As my previous comments show, this means that a tenant is, once again, one bad day away from being denied their essential need for a safe home. This state of affairs also allows bad actors to take advantage of not only struggling tenants, but also their fellow landlords - where a good landlord spends the time and money on repairs, the bad landlord keeps that money to take more units and tenants that the good landlord would otherwise have. HB802 would allow localities to step in and protect the tenants from predatory landlords, the good landlords from an unfair playing field, and themselves from unsafe and hazardous conditions reducing the quality of life. For the foregoing reasons, I urge this committee to pass both these bills.

The Virginia State Conference Housing Committee Supports Delegate Price bill HB802. This bill provides greater accountability and allow for local municipals to monitor and respond to Health & Safety issues and eliminate slumlords.

Good afternoon. My name is Connie Wright-Zink and I live in Augusta County. As a member of Virginia Organizing, I have been working with residents of the Waynesboro area on the issue of affordable, quality housing. The passage of these bills is critical in order to protect our most vulnerable citizens from being preyed upon by unethical and callous landlords. Virginia Organizing has spent the last year knocking on doors and speaking with tenants in low rent and subsidized housing in Waynesboro. We are gathering testimony from many of the residents in these housing units in order to provide evidence of the many ways in which they have been taken advantage of by their landlords. Personally, I have been shocked to see some of the physical conditions they live in as well as their stories of the many ways landlords have abused their positions of power to intimidate their renters. Our communities desperately need the protections these bills would provide. I hope we can count on you to vote yes on all of them.

Please Vote Yes to HB803 7 804 By preventing evictions, HB803 will save landlords work and money. Landlords will receive the full amount of rent they are owed instead of spending additional money on court fees to get a judgment they may not be able to collect. Landlords will not lose additional rent money while the unit sits empty after eviction. HB804 requires landlords to disclose their tenant screening policies upfront. Rather than wasting money on rental applications, not knowing whether the landlord will ultimately deny them, tenants will be able to review the landlord’s tenant screening policies and decide whether to apply to that landlord.

We are in support of delegate Price BillHB803. The changing of the required notice from 5 days to 14 days has been instrumental in keeping more families housed. The 9-day extension has granted families more time to obtain past due funds and avoid costly court cost and fees. Thank you

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and members of the subcommittee. My name is Isabel McLain and I am speaking on behalf of Housing Opportunities Made Equal of Virginia. We support HB 804 because it will make the tenant application process more efficient and cost-effective for all involved parties. HB 804 would remove a significant financial barrier for renters and reduce waste of time and resources for landlords. In addition, this bill would bring transparency and improved accuracy to the screening process, which we believe is critical to ensuring fair access to housing across the state. On a personal note, I recently moved to Virginia and the application process was expensive and difficult. I spent $450 on background check fees for the 5 apartments to which I applied, when I could have just paid once for a background check and saved a lot of money. Passing HB 804 would simplify the search for a rental home in this great Commonwealth.

The VSC NAACP respectfully asks for a vote of yes for HB804. The average application fee for a renter is $40.00 per person 18 and older. A household of two will spend $80.00 in an attempt to secure a home only to be told after paying this nonrefundable payment they don't qualify in according to the landlord's tenant selection policy Landlords literally rack up thousands of dollars on nonrefundable fees the passing of this bill would ease the burden for many that literally go broke just applying for a home.

Good afternoon Chair and members of the subcomittee, My name is Robbie Bradshaw and I am with the IICRC. We are a non-profit organization focusing in setting standards and providing certifications in the cleaning and restoration industries. The IICRC feels that these two bills, HB 868 and 885, will help raise awareness of the importance of finding and remediating mold in buildings throughout the Commonwealth. Far too many times we see stories on our local news stations showing the dangerous effects that living and working in buildings with mold can have on an individuals health. Though we believe more can be done, we do feel that these bills are a stepping stone to fixing the mold issues we see in the State of Virginia. We ask that the committee vote YES on both HB 868 and HB 885.

The VSC NAACP Housing Committee stands in support of HB868 this bill is necessary to hold landlords accountable for their responsibilities as a property owner Please vote yes on HB868 Thank you

We are particularly frustrated by the inability to effectively require addressing mold and other conditions brought to our attention in multi-family apartment buildings in our locality, due to existing legal constraints. Sincerely, Dave Snyder, Falls Church City Council

The City of Falls Church Housing Commission strongly supports the adoption of HB885 building code-livability standards. The Commission is made up concerned individuals whose responsibility is to serve as a sounding board for tenants in the city. We advocate for any bill that gives more rights to tenants to have control over their standard of living. The current laws and places the responsibility for change on the tenant and not the landlord. We feel that this must change and advocate for any stronger legislation regarding this issue. Joshua Shokoor, Chair, The City of Falls Church Housing Commission

I am writing in support of HB885 and urge the committee to move this forward to the Legislature for its full consideration. It is difficult for a tenant to get immediate relief from mold, plumbing issues, rodents, and basic livability requirements from the building owner. This is due not to lack of efforts and communication with the owners, but the owners ignoring the requests, which they are able to do with no repercussions from the local building officials, leaving the tenants in an abhorrent living situation and a building in disrepair. With this HB885, there would be the potential to uphold the basic requirements and ensuring all Virginians can live in a safe rodent-free environment, at a minimum. Thank you. Erin Korves 106 Dulany Pl Falls Church, VA. 22046

Support HB885- Request is for General Laws committee to support this legislation and report out it out to the full House for considering versus concurring with the subcommittee to strike the bill. On behalf of residents of the City of Falls Church I represent on Falls Church City Council and as a member of the Falls Church City Council Legislative Committee, I strongly support this legislation per our adopted 2022 Legislative Position to "support legislation that shifts tenant right enforcement, especially around environmental health issues of mold and rodents, to the state. Also support legislation to revised the Virginia Uniform Building Code to provide more authority to the state and local building officials." Current state code places the responsibility on the tenants to seek enforcement to resolve tenant rights, environmental health and/or building code violations. Tenants often lack the knowledge, time and resources to work through the legal complexities. Additionally, local building officials have limited authority to address these issues. Tenants, in one of the City's rental multi-family privately owned affordable housing complex, have been unable to resolve mold and rodent issues with the property management company and raise their concerns for their children's health and safety to City Council. In attempting to help the tenant resolve unacceptable living conditions the City learned that state building safety and environmental health codes prevented enforcement to mitigate. In my professional role as the Executive Director of the Falls Church Education Foundation, we often see the negative impacts on education from poor living conditions. Mold and rodents create health problems for all of our residents, but the youngest are most vulnerable. Thank you for your time, consideration and service to the Commonwealth. Debbie Schantz-Hiscott Falls Church City Council, councilmember Falls Church Education Foundation, Executive Director

As a member of the Falls Church City Council, I hear first hand accounts from our renter residents about poor living conditions and ask that you support HB885 to support their rights. Some of our renters are in living in impossibly difficult situations. To prove a violation, a tenant must hire a professional which is an uphill, expensive legal battle that is a deterrent for many. If basic standards - that housing should be free from mold, rodents, etc - all conditions you and I would consider bare minimum livability - were included in the code, a local government building official would be able to require correction of the violation. As it stands now, we are failing our renters - a growing majority of our constituents - by not codifying health and safety standards in our building code. Thank you for your consideration.

I am here today to speak on behalf of the religious freedoms of ministries, churches and faith-based schools like Patrick Henry College – including the protections for mission-driven employment and housing accommodations. Your conversations and deliberations today are important to all Virginians of faith and, I would say, also for Virginians of no faith because you are considering this important question: “Do organizations have the right to employ those who align with their mission both in practice and, in the case of religious organizations, those who align with the undergirding theology and doctrines that define their organizations.” A negative answer to that question has far-reaching implications for both religious and individual freedom in the Commonwealth. Answering that question in the affirmative, as I encourage you to do, protects the rights of faith-based organizations like Patrick Henry College to continue providing the unique educational opportunity that people seek from us. Thank you for your service to all Virginians.

HB753 religious folks have rights, Muslims and Jews should be treated with respect. HB909 against this, I would never put an Indian Hindu near an Indian Muslim. I think you need to realize that American is made up of many nations: not all of these nations get along with each other, and in the interest of peace here, some may bring those issues here with them. HB1133 may or may not be a good thing. I can see it working both ways, for and against folks.

The city has chosen ONE as a gaming host. This bill is identical to Morrissey's SB203 which puts limits on a casino referendum in Richmond for five years. We in the city of Richmond feels as Mr. Morrissey have committed MUTINY on us. We see this bill (HB-1134) only as a designed to remove Richmond city from becoming a host city, which in the end becomes Richmond being remove indefinite. PLEASE VOTE NO to HB-1134.

I'm writing in support of HB1216. To keep my comments brief, I'll simply say that I am a lifelong VA resident and landowner, and I believe in transparency between public and private sector dealings especially when it comes to real estate. The opacity of NRHA's investments through Hampton Roads Ventures is troubling to say the least. Who is benefitting from HRV's investments in Idaho, Louisiana, and all other manner of places - and why won't they invest in their own city of Norfolk? We cannot answer this question without access to the information that this bill would make available.

The Richmond City Council is in full support of HB 1127 and thanks Delegate McQuinn for putting the bill forward. Housing is an integral part of building an equitable future for Richmond. The relationship between the City of Richmond and Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority through the appointed board needs to be improved with direct representation by both City Council and Mayor. Building an equitable and inclusive future for our City requires creating new mixed-income housing options. The addition of allowing the City of Richmond to have representation on the RRHA board will expand opportunities for including RRHA residents into our development plans for the future of our city. This will also strengthen the options for public-private partnerships for funding, building, and operating these new mixed-income developments as the debt and bonding powers of RRHA to be directly aligned with our Richmond 300 Master Plan. Currently, there is separated autonomy established between City Council and the City of Richmond and the RRHA which will be improved through allowing representation on the board. Collaboration is the key and this bill will help promote that. We urge you to support the bill.

Digital learning and connectivity at school and at home enables students to complete their school work, engage in on-line learning both inside and outside of school, and levels the playing field for students regardless of their affluence level or geographic location. Developing an overview of where broadband and digital connectivity is unaffordable and establishing clear recommendations on how best to leverage federal grants and communicate directly with parents to provide them with resources to access high speed broadband (100Mbps/100Mbps) is critical to closing the critical divide and preparing our students for jobs of the future.
