It's been a busy summer for VAMA's Legislative Committee. All of the news of evictions led the VA Housing Commission to setup an eviction sub-work group. VAMA Lobbyist, Brian Gordon, held a seat on the task force and the Legislative Committee worked diligently to come up with compromises on 5 bills that the sub-work group recommended the full Commission adopt to send to the General Assembly in 2019.

The synopsis of the 6th bill is the VAMA preferred version, however, discussions are still underway for future compromises.
