What does zoning have to do with housing affordability? Our communities' zoning decisions play a powerful role in shaping what gets built, where it gets built, and who has access to housing. At the 4th Annual Regional Housing Summit, HousingForward Virginia will walk us through the direct connections between land use, zoning, and the housing crisis, using the latest data from the Virginia Zoning Atlas to explore what zoning looks like across our region.

This session will help attendees better understand:
- How zoning shapes housing opportunities
- What the latest Virginia Zoning Atlas data tells us about our region
- The connection between land use policies and housing availability
- How communities can think differently about zoning as part of the solution

We’re pleased to spotlight Brwarchitects and Bruce Wardell, Founding Principal, as a sponsor of the 4th Annual Regional Housing Summit: From Vision to Impact.

For more than forty years, BRW has told the stories of our clients and communities through architecture. They approach every project with compassion and collaboration, from resident-led affordable housing to commercial, education, religious, and residential design.

The foundation of Bruce’s work is building genuine relationships within each client’s community, a value he gained from his Peace Corps service in Tonga. Bruce has dedicated much of his career to amplifying the services and ministries provided by churches, synagogues, and nonprofits. Over the last decade Bruce has developed a robust affordable housing studio, dedicated to resident-led design, eliminating homelessness, and providing permanent supportive housing for vulnerable communities in Charlottesville.

AND... you’ll get to hear from Bruce at the Summit.

Bruce will join our Faith in Housing panel, exploring how new Virginia legislation is opening doors for faith-based and nonprofit organizations to play a greater role in developing housing. The conversation will look at what these new opportunities could mean for organizations with land, community connections, and a desire to help address the housing shortage—and what it takes to turn that opportunity into housing.

With Bruce's experience working with churches, nonprofits, and affordable housing projects, we're excited to have his perspective at the table for this timely conversation.

Thank you, BRW, for supporting the Summit and for being part of the work to move From Vision to Impact.

We're excited to recognize Snowflake Consulting as a sponsor of the 4th Annual Regional Housing Summit: From Vision to Impact!

Snowflake is a Certified B Corporation® consultancy that works with nonprofits, governments, and businesses to help them translate visions into plans—and plans into action. Since 2014, Snowflake has helped nearly 70 organizations strengthen their strategies, teams, communications, and ability to create greater social and economic impact.

For Snowflake, housing is about more than having a roof over your head. It's about dignity, opportunity, financial stability, and the ability for individuals and families to build better lives.

And they believe no single sector can solve the housing challenges we face alone. “All sectors have a role to play in developing and providing access to affordable housing, but no one can do it alone.”

That belief in collaboration hits especially close to home for us. Snowflake recently helped the Regional Housing Assembly develop its first strategic plan, helping position the RHA to educate stakeholders, coordinate efforts, and facilitate greater housing development and access across our region.

We're grateful for their investment not only in the Summit, but in the long-term work of building a stronger regional housing ecosystem.

As Snowflake puts it: “Vision is great, but without action and results, it effectively means nothing.” That's exactly what From Vision to Impact is about.

Thank you, Snowflake, for helping our region turn ideas into action—and for being part of the work to create meaningful, lasting housing solutions.
