View source for Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund

The '''Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund  (CAHF)''' was established in [[2007]] to serve as the city's primary mechanism to supporting creation, preservation, and rehabilitation of the city's affordable housing stock. <ref>{{cite web|title=Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund|url=https://www.charlottesville.gov/679/Charlottesville-Affordable-Housing-Fundauthor=|work=Government Website|publisher=City of Charlottesville|location=City of Charlottesville|publishdate=|accessdate=August 2, 2021}}</ref> 

In FY22, the program is being reviewed as an offshot of the [[Cville Plans Together]] initiative. <ref>{{cite-CCE|title=August 2, 2021: Council discusses tax increases to help cover $60 million Buford upgrades; CAAR releases 2nd quarter sales report|url=https://communityengagement.substack.com/p/august-2-2021-council-discusses-tax|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|location=Charlottesville, Virginia |publishdate=August 2, 2021|accessdate=August 3, 2021}}</ref>

The fund was capitalized with $2.15 million in fiscal year [[2008]]. 

Another $1.4 million for the fund was included in the fiscal 2008-09 [[Charlottesville Capital Improvement Program|Capital Improvement Program]]. <ref name="fg">{{cite web|title=Is affordable housing available in “The best place to live in America”?|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/6933-affordable_housing/|author=Fania Gordon|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=March 13, 2009|accessdate=January 2, 2017}}</ref>

Norris called the program his "first major legislative proposal." At the time it was known as the Charlottesville Affordable Housing Investment Program (CAHIP). <ref>{{cite web|title=CAHIP|url=http://cvilledave.blogspot.com/2006/12/cahip.html|author=Dave Norris|work=Blog post|publisher=Dave Norris|location=|publishdate=December 4, 2006|accessdate=January 2, 2017}}</ref> 

In its first years, the fund helped agencies such as the [[Piedmont Housing Alliance]], [[Albemarle Housing Improvement Program]] (AHIP), Region 10, the [[Jefferson Area Board for Aging]] and the [[Dogwood Housing Limited Partnership]]. <ref>{{cite web|title=City Council debates options for investing affordable housing money|url=http://www.cvilletomorrow.org/news/article/7247-council_housing/|author=Sean Tubbs|work=News Article|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=April 25, 2008|accessdate=January 2, 2017}}</ref>
