Livable RVA

What is Livable RVA Anyway?

Livable RVA is our way of saying, “Hey, let’s make our city even better!” It’s a community-driven effort led by the Livability Initiative. Our mission is simple: create a space where everyone feels welcome and can access all the wonderful things our city has to offer. 

As stewards of the Livability Initiative, our mission is simple but profound: to cultivate an environment where every individual feels welcome.  

Why It Matters  

Accessibility is fundamental. Everyone should be able to enjoy our amazing city, right? However, challenges often emerge that restrict people’s ability to enjoy the fullness of Richmond. Livable RVA is our commitment to dismantling these barriers, transforming Richmond into a place where people of all abilities can thrive.
