Va. Code § 36-139.9
Local Housing Policies Dashboard
A rebuild of DHCD's Tableau dashboard for the annual locality reports. Reports render underneath the map instead of opening as a PDF, every county, city and incorporated town is clickable, and plans are shaded by how long since their last update rather than yes/no. Designed to be hosted on a DHCD URL rather than directing constituents to the external Tableau site.

SB 665 / HB 356
Chapter 122
Residential Development Application Reporting
The bill
Localities over 3,500 population must report every residential development application they receive, approve and deny each year — with unit counts, proposed tenure, affordability targeting and permitted density.
The prototype
Models a dashboard for the new reporting requirements, using dummy data. Also shows what's possible with high-quality building permit data, using real Arlington County information.
HB 4
Chapter 352
Affordable Housing Preservation & Right of First Refusal
The bill
Gives localities a right of first refusal on publicly supported housing, and requires annual reporting from localities over 3,500 population on properties whose affordability covenants are expiring.
The prototype
Tracks every covenant expiry in the Commonwealth, tiers properties by how soon they lapse, and drills from a jurisdiction down to the individual buildings at risk. Uses real data.
SB 5 / HB 3 · § 6
Chapter 540
Income-Qualified Energy Efficiency & Weatherization Task Force
The bill
Establishes a task force under DHCD and requires publicly available data, by census tract, on income-qualified households that received efficiency improvements, weatherization or repairs, including cost and energy saved.
The prototype
Publishes the § 6 dataset itself, for anyone: a resident-facing page for checking eligibility and finding a local provider, and an explorer for reading the tract-level numbers.
