  • 2020 VPAP Annual Report
    Staying Nimble FINDING NEW WAYS TO ELEVATE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING Top of the News 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ballot ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Letter from the Board Chair On many levels, 2020 was both historic and humbling. A global pandemic and economic crisis. Social unrest and calls for racial justice. Political extremism and democracy under siege. Any one of these topics would be enough to contend with in a normal year, but at once 2020 brought many issues into plain sight. What we learned last year is that at a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the public’s hunger for reliable news and information grows exponentially. The STAFF challenge for the Virginia Public Access Project was to meet that demand, while adapting to remote work and rethinking nearly every aspect of our operation. David M. Poole Executive Director We enhanced VaNews to add “Top of the News” for those who value a quick summary of headlines. We developed a COVID-19 dashboard to make it easy Ric Arenstein to track coronavirus cases and deaths as reported by the Virginia Department Major Gifts Officer of Health. And we modified our traditional election night coverage to account for early voting and delayed returns. Rachel Dominy Graphic Design and I am proud of the many ways, large and small, the VPAP team seized Communications Manager opportunity and adapted during such a challenging year. You will find a few of those instances outlined in this annual report. Jason Kostyk Data Developer All of this success was made possible by the encouragement and support of our nearly 1,500 donors.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • 2021 Virginia Legislative Update By: Allen Warren
    THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT April 2021 Edition ___________________________________________________ 2021 Virginia Legislative Update By: Allen Warren Each year, before and during the Virginia General Assembly’s legislative session, community association volunteer leaders must keep a watchful eye on legislative bills submitted for consideration by our state senators and delegates. Often, these bills are submitted to address some perceived injustice that may have occurred in a particular association, providing a legislative “fix” for something that either did not need to be fixed or that should not be addressed as a “one-size-fits-all” statutory mandate. This year, we are pleased to report on several changes to the Virginia Condominium Act and the Property Owners’ Association Act that should serve community associations well, improving their ability to efficiently and effectively operate and protect the overall interests of the membership. This article will address several of the enacted pieces of 2021 legislation that directly impact community associations. These include, for instance, legislation pertaining to board authority to authorize virtual membership, board and committee meetings (expanding upon last year’s temporary legislation), board authority to ban smoking, fair housing parking accommodations, another expansion of the “protected classes” under state fair housing laws, and limiting the ability to foreclose on a judgment debtor’s primary residence. The legislation described below has been signed by the Governor and will take effect on July 1st of this year. For those interested in knowing which elected officials introduced or sponsored the legislation, the patrons (or chief patrons) of the bills are designated next to the subject heading. If you appreciate (or do not appreciate) the impact that a particular piece of legislation may have on your community association, we encourage you to contact your elected state delegate or senator to make your point-of-view known.

Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.

While it is clear that the Virginia Department of Veterans Services (VDVS) is working hard to address the needs of veterans, the BVS feels it is James O. Icenhour, Jr. appropriate and necessary to underscore the Board’s concern for, and support of, Thurraya Kent efforts to address the needs of Virginia’s most vulnerable veterans. Accordingly, on M.

Senator Mamie Locke Over the past six years, over 6,000 formerly homeless veterans in our Delegate Kathleen Commonwealth have found permanent housing. The Board recognizes that these Murphy results were achieved through the passion and commitment of state, federal, and local Kathy Owens government agencies, non-profit and faith-based organizations, the business Senator Bryce Reeves community, and many other partners.
