In July 2025, the Commonwealth Regional Council (CRC), was awarded $140,000.00 in grant funds from Virginia Housing to hire a consultant to conduct a Regional Housing study that will encompass the CRC’s regional footprint. This footprint includes the Counties of: Amelia, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward. This regional marketing analysis’s immediate objective is to identify housing gaps that are not currently being addressed and could be addressed in future housing projects. The study would also evaluate the impact of previous housing projects on the community and offer strategies or policies that would be important for the CRC or localities to incorporate regarding housing.
