Homes for All VOICE Assembly

Homes for All VOICE Assembly
Sunday, October 19 | 3:30–5:00 PM | Herndon, VA

Join faith leaders, nonprofits, business partners, and elected officials from across the region for the VOICE Homes for All Assembly, a powerful gathering advocating for solutions to Virginia’s growing housing crisis.

Virginia is facing a statewide shortage of affordable housing, with families and neighbors struggling to keep up with rising rents and utility costs. Across the state, faith institutions collectively own more than 74,000 acres—nearly twice the size of Richmond. While many faith groups have tried to develop housing, local rezoning processes are often lengthy, costly, and unpredictable, making it difficult to put this land to work for the community.

The VOICE Assembly is part of a movement urging the General Assembly to support state reforms that streamline zoning for faith communities and tax-exempt organizations, helping unlock land for affordable housing while maintaining environmental protections.

This interfaith gathering will include Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, and Sikh leaders, along with nonprofit and business partners, and elected officials. Both Virginia gubernatorial candidates have been invited to participate. Together, attendees will call for bold, bipartisan action to reduce barriers to housing, strengthen communities, and support the mission of congregations across the state.

Don’t miss this opportunity to show support for housing solutions in Virginia. Reserve your spot today and be part of a powerful statewide movement.

Together, we can take meaningful steps toward a Virginia where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.
