On Friday night, we hosted Senator Tim Kaine at the Library of Virginia to talk about fair housing. We’re happy to share highlights here, and on our social channels. We’re posting on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. Help us share the word!

We’ve put together four standout moments from this special event — and we’ve posted the full recording at the bottom of this page. Watch Senator Kaine discuss…

▶️ The very first client he represented when he was a 26-year-old attorney, in a case that forever defined his thinking on housing justice.

▶️ How housing affordability has become a “top-three issue” across Virginia, connecting to challenges that might seem unrelated to housing.

▶️ Why “we’re still moving forward in Virginia,” thanks to fair housing laws that are stronger than at the federal level, even as “we’re in a backlash moment nationally.”

▶️ Why HOME of VA is a national leader in pursuing equal access to housing for all.
