.@VADHCD will do targeted outreach to communities of color—those experiencing disproportionately high eviction rates before the pandemic are most vulnerable now. And we will prioritize households without federal or state protections, and those currently facing court proceedings. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Safe, stable, and affordable housing is more important now than ever as we continue to battle this virus. Today, we are launching the Virginia Rent and Mortgage Relief Program, which will invest $50 million to support Virginians facing eviction or foreclosure due to #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

It's a great day for clean energy in Virginia. This morning, I ceremonially signed new offshore wind legislation—and I'm on my way to tour the first offshore wind turbines in federal waters, located right off the coast of Virginia Beach. Learn more: https://t.co/v3mIZhaVU8 — PolitiTweet.org

Last May, I pledged that I wouldn't sign another bill that included mandatory minimum sentences. Let's do this. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Bowser has a nice ring to it. #DCStatehood now, because all Americans—and especially our next-door neighbors—deserve equal representation. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

That's why today, I also called on chief general district court judges around the Commonwealth to delay hearing eviction cases in their localities until July 20—this is the right thing to do, and they have the authority to do it. Learn more: https://t.co/CFqgNEWMQd — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

On Monday, June 29, we will launch the Virginia Rent and Mortgage Relief Program with @VADHCD using $50 million in federal CARES Act funds. The #COVID19 pandemic has brought on a number of challenges, but no one should have to worry about losing their home or getting evicted. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Earlier this month, Virginia Supreme Court Chief Justice Lemons accepted my request for a statewide moratorium on eviction proceedings through June 28—giving us time to implement a rent and mortgage relief program for Virginians experiencing financial instability due to #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We are taking historic steps to advance environmental justice, lower carbon emissions through #RGGI, and modernize the role of @VirginiaDEQ to help address climate change and emerging issues like this pandemic—today, I was proud to join those who are making this change possible. https://t.co/e9pg5rInrs — PolitiTweet.org

Together with enhanced testing and contact tracing, we can continue safely easing health restrictions—but everyone must keep taking the necessary steps to protect yourself and those around you. More information on Phase Three can be found here: https://t.co/dnrwCRiJ0w — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We are able to safely move into Phase Three next week because Virginians have been doing the right things, like staying home and practicing social distancing. But we need to remain cautious––cases are on the rise in many other states, and we do not want to see that in Virginia. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Phase Three still means you are #SaferAtHome––especially if you are vulnerable. ✅ Teleworking is still strongly encouraged. ✅ You still need to practice physical distancing in all situations outside your home. ✅ Face coverings are still required in indoor public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Here's what you can expect in Phase Three: https://t.co/yN0qqPByqG — PolitiTweet.org

I am extending my earlier executive order that helps our hospitals and nursing homes increase bed capacity to confront a potential medical surge––while we are not seeing the same spike in #COVID19 cases as some of our neighbors, we must stay prepared. https://t.co/hIVduRDHd4 — PolitiTweet.org
