What changed between versions
Changed housing eligibility criteria to include both affordable and middle-income housing, expanding the pool of eligible properties and developers.
Extended the Virginia Housing Development Authority's review period for surplus property from 120 days to 180 days, giving them more time to assess feasibility and solicit interest.
Added new definition for 'affordable and middle-income housing' specifying income thresholds of 120% of area median income (150% in rural areas).
Added specific enforcement language allowing for liquidated damages and injunctive relief for covenant violations, making enforcement more robust.
Modified covenant requirements to allow satisfaction through federal or state tax credit programs, providing more flexibility in compliance.
