Kaine highlights $1.74 million for Danville housing project DANVILLE, Va. (WSET) — U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine was in Danville Wednesday to highlight $1.74 million in federal funding for the redevelopment of the former Cunningham and Hughes Funeral Home. The funding will help transform the historic property into the Cunningham and Hughes Neighborhood Development Center, creating new community space, offices and two residential units. Kaine said he pushed for the funding because of Danville’s growing need for housing. “Basically I go to the Appropriations Committee and say, hey, Danville is the city on the move. It’s got a housing need. We would like to fund this project,” Kaine said. “So I made a direct request of the Appropriations Committee for some of this.” Kaine said additional funding comes through an infrastructure bill that provides money to states.

The completed development is expected to include offices for the Danville Neighborhood Development Corporation, educational and historical programming space, two residential units on the upper floors and a lower-level garage for maintenance equipment. Kaine, a former fair housing attorney, has long advocated for expanding access to affordable housing. He also supported the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which aims to increase the supply of homes, lower housing costs and expand access to affordable housing. The bill became law in July. Kaine said federal housing programs can include requirements designed to keep units affordable for low- and moderate-income residents. The project is expected to help strengthen the surrounding historic district, support neighborhood revitalization and expand housing options in Danville. Kaine also planned to travel to South Boston for a roundtable with regional education and business leaders and Halifax County officials to discuss workforce development. The Cunningham and Hughes project is expected to take at least two years to complete.
