Together through IMPACT, we are able to take on multiple problem areas together each year. Because not all solutions are achievable in one year, we remain committed until we reach our goal.
Our primary focuses are:
Affordable Housing: We want Albemarle County to create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund that would be able to significantly fund the construction of new affordable homes in our community. Find out more here.
Transit Wait Times: Wait times for a bus in Charlottesville are over half an hour! People who ride the bus deserve a system that they can rely on. We are pushing the City of Charlottesville to fully fund our bus system so that everyone can get around town easily and on time.
New Problem Area: In the past year, we wrapped up our work on substance abuse and are excited that Region Ten’s Women’s Treatment Center is re-opened! During our listening process this year we will be gathering stories of people’s concerns to determine a third problem area to focus on. We will vote on a new problem at our October 27 Community Problems Assembly
