Protection for tenants based on Source of Funds is an important step towards equity in the Commonwealth. Low-Income residents should not be barred from quality housing due to the use of government subsidy, which provides landlords with more stable income. 

Focusing on the tenant's portion of the rent as outlined on Page 4 of the guidance is not an unfair application of the VFHL. I echo Christie Marra's comments and speak in favor of the guidance as it is currently written.
