We are proud to announce that members of the Housing Alexandria team have attended three Virginia housing conferences in October and November: Virginia's Housing Credit Conference and Housing Virginia's Most Vulnerable held in Richmond and the Virginia Governor's Housing Conference held at Virginia Beach. We are especially proud that our President Jonathan Frederick presented on our Mega project Sanse Naja at the Housing Credit Conference and that we could be a tabling sponsor at the Virginia Governor's Housing Conference. We look forward to continuing to learn how to make affordable housing a reality in our community through interacting with housing leaders and professionals across the state of Virginia.
