Adele McClure proposed building code reforms in Virginia to increase housing supply. The proposal suggests allowing certain multi-unit buildings, up to six stories and 24 housing units, to utilize a single stairway. McClure and Sen.

These proposed reforms aim to unlock housing development on vacant or underutilized lots. A 2021 state study found that Virginia had a housing shortage of at least 200,000 units, disproportionately affecting low-income renters.

Abigail Spanberger's administration is focused on modernization and investments within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
