SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Live In Our Community Police Housing Program. Establishes the Live In Our Community Police Housing Program to promote community-policing throughout the Commonwealth. The program is designed to prevent crime and promote neighborhood safety and security by encouraging law-enforcement officers to live in economically distressed communities and become active residents of the community. Such communities must be a part of an area covered by a community-policing program. Homes will be offered at significant discounts to qualified police officers who are full-time employees of federal, state, or local law-enforcement agencies through an inventory of homes maintained by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the Virginia Housing Development Authority.

This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Status and Needs of African-American Males in Virginia.
