Nearly 20 percent of households in the City of Charlottesville made less than $15,000 of income in 2017, as found in a housing needs assessment conducted by the City earlier this year.
The Charlottesville City Council voted at its Oct. 1 meeting to approve the allocation of $200,000 from the Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund to allow the City’s Housing Advisory Committee to initiate the process of developing a localized affordable housing strategy.
