Initiated by a $5 million donation from the Dave Matthews Band, the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority (CRHA) is undertaking a massive, resident-led initiative to redevelop and revitalize every public housing neighborhood in Charlottesville. Come learn all about this ambitious $200 million+ project from those who are leading the charge — Ashley Davies of Riverbend Development, John Sales of CRHA, and Joy Johnson of the Public Housing Association of Residents. Find out what's going well, what obstacles lie ahead, and how low-income residents have stepped up to improve their communities through collective action.

Many thanks to our Lunch & Learn sponsor, Pro Pipe Plumbing & Drain, specializing in Qest pipe replacement, sewer line scoping and replacement, and septic system pumping, inspections and replacement. And continued thanks to our 2026 Legacy Sponsor, Virginia Housing.
