Welcome to the Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition
We are a coalition of residents and community-based organizations standing against displacement
and for increased affordable housing for very low-income people.
Call to Action:
Our goal is to undo the racism caused by land use and housing policy for the last two centuries by
urging the Charlottesville City Council to address displacement prevention.
Send an email to Council@charlottesville.gov to share your support for improving racial equity by supporting deeply affordable housing.
City Council meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday at 6:30pm. Make a public comment to share your support! Contact emily@justice4all.org for further information.
