Some say home is where the heart is, but these days it's become where a lot of your money is as well.

U.S. Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner recently announced $98 million in federal funds will be spread out across the Commonwealth to address affordable housing accessibility. Out of the more than 30 localities that are receiving a portion of this money, the City of Richmond is taking home the second largest sum -- second only to Fairfax County.

It's been more than a year since Richmond declared a housing crisis. Last summer, city officials said there was a shortage of more than 23,000 housing units available in the city. Former Richmond Mayor and current U.S. Senator Tim Kaine said housing accessibility has been a problem in the Commonwealth for a while now.
