Join us in person at the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia (122 West Leigh Street, Richmond, VA 23220) for a discussion on policy, access, and housing affordability in the region. “The Crisis at our Doorstep: Housing in RVA” will include panelists Jovan Burton from Partnership for Housing Affordability, Holly Eve from Better Housing Coalition and a representative from Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority. This is not a conversation to miss!

This event is free and open to the public.

The 2022-2023 series of Controversy/History celebrates 10 years of BIG community conversations. In this series, the Valentine aims to hold space for Richmonders to engage with topics that are an integral part of everyday life in the city and surrounding areas. We highlight representatives from non-profit and government institutions that keep you aware of not only what’s new, but to examine what’s still broken and discuss ways to improve our quality of life. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary, we will be re-engaging with our most controversial, heavy-hitting conversation topics over the years: health, transportation, housing, education, and public spaces.
