HOME of Virginia

In the thirty years since its formation, Richmond’s Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) has risen from its grassroots beginnings to be a powerful agent for equal opportunities in housing. The organization’s legal and educational efforts have had considerable impact not only in Richmond but in the nation as well. . . .

This document includes case studies of several cases:

Coleman v. Havens Realty Corp. (in the Supreme Court as Havens Realty Corp. v. Coleman) (pp. 24-7)
Saunders v General Services Corporation (p. 31)
HOME v. Nationwide (pp. 34-38)

The latter two include substantial discussion of the role of later-Governor Tim Kaine, who litigated them on HOME's behalf.
