Build the Future

Financial pressures on renters in the Charlottesville region are growing. Eviction filings have climbed steadily over the past two years and are now approaching pre-pandemic levels, with more than 139,000 cases filed in Virginia last year alone.

In our region, rising housing costs leave more than half of renters cost-burdened and vulnerable to displacement. Behind every statistic is a family doing their best to stay housed in a community they call home.

Between June 18 and 25, we invite you to help Piedmont Housing Alliance raise $75,000 to support eviction prevention and housing stabilization for individuals and families in our community.

Since August, our eviction prevention program has helped stabilize housing for 31 households at an average cost of just $1,200 per family, making it one of the most cost effective interventions in our region. Yet many families remain on our waitlist, each one hoping for support before they lose their home. This gap represents more than numbers. It represents children, elders, workers, and caregivers who deserve the chance to stay rooted in their community.

Your generosity helps close that gap. Every contribution strengthens our ability to respond quickly when a family is at risk of displacement and ensures more of our neighbors can remain safely housed. When you give, you are investing in a Charlottesville where every family has the stability they need to thrive.

Thank you for believing in the power of housing to change lives.
