New partnership addresses affordable housing “one house at a time”

House prices may be falling across Virginia, but Charlottesville continues to have a shortage of affordable houses. Many service workers have to commute long distances because of high prices. But, at least one new home will be kept at a reasonable cost, thanks to a new partnership between the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors and the Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center, in collaboration with Church Hill Homes and the Piedmont Housing Alliance.

I took a tour of the new house, and recorded comments from CAAR’s Dave Phillips, Jeff Gaffney of the CAAR Workforce Housing Fund, and Darah Bonham, the director of CATEC. This nine minute piece features some of what they had to say in their own words.
