Our member Sophie's letter to the editor was published in the Daily Progress!

The residents at Charlottesville's Free Bridge encampment should be made aware of Virginia's housing choice vouchers.

🚨 Albemarle residents can now be notified when the Housing Choice Voucher waitlist opens! This is a direct result of the grassroots organizing done by our very own chapter members. Thank you, Albemarle County!

Interested in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program? Create a Housing Portal account today to receive email notifications whenever Albemarle County opens a waiting list for new applications.

The Housing Portal is the only way to apply for the HCV Program, so creating an account now will make the application process faster and easier when opportunities become available.

Already have a Housing Portal account? No action is needed—you'll automatically receive email notifications about future Housing Choice Voucher application opportunities.
