Take Action

The Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition’s progress and successes to date stem in large part from the overwhelming support of local residents, citizens, and members of the broader Charlottesville community. However, in order to continue to advocate for racial and economic justice in the city, CLIHC needs your support! Here are a number of ways to get involved:

SHARE YOUR CONCERNS!

Send an email to Council@charlottesville.gov.
Let them know that you support CLIHC’s recommendations to address racial and economic justice in Charlottesville. CLIHC recommends improving the zoning code to slow displacement in Core Neighborhoods (including 10th and Page, Fifeville and Rose Hill Drive). We also support expanded Real Estate Tax Relief, Rent Relief and emergency rental assistance for low-income households in the Charlottesville area.
