The Charlottesville Public Housing Association of Resident's mission is to educate and empower low-income residents to protect and improve our own communities through collective action. At PHAR focus on the following areas: - We are the duly recognized federal mandate to represent residents in all aspects of CRHA operations. - Community Organizing to make policy changes that benefit residents - PHAR Internship Program to develop community leadership, educate residents, add to PHAR’s capacity for organizing, and contribute to economic empowerment of individuals. - Assistance to individual residents in conflict with CRHA (ex. Grievances, Reasonable Accommodation requests etc.) - Engage fully on Redevelopment by supporting the Resident’s Bill of Rights for Redevelopment and developing and implementing the Positive Vision for Resident Directed Redevelopment.
