There is a significant gap in understanding eviction and housing instability in Virginia due to the limited court data made available for research purposes. Currently, the most detailed case information that can be collected from Virginia courts is at the jurisdiction level and in some cases at the ZIP code level. This bill would allow for a more detailed and localized examination of where eviction filings occur within Virginia jurisdictions. The additional court data that this bill makes available to researchers would further provide insight into which populations are most impacted by eviction and housing instability at a local level. Therefore, this bill would facilitate research that can directly assist policymakers at the state and local levels in designing effective policy as well as efficiently targeting service provision to the areas and populations most affected by housing instability. Thank you.
