About Virginia Housing Alliance

The Virginia Housing Alliance (VHA) was formed as a result of a merger between the Virginia Coalition to End Homelessness (VCEH) and the Virginia Housing Coalition Information Services (VHCIS).  VHA and Virginia Housing Coalition (VHC), another statewide education and advocacy organization, formed a brother-sister relationship by aligning under one board of directors to ensure that both housing and ending homelessness in Virginia remained a priority. 

VHA's Focus Areas
