Fair Housing Demand

Over the past several months the
Council has faced increasing activity
from Charlottesville's residents.
Many groups including students,
faculty, and other citizens of the
city have been requesting action on
a Fair Housing Ordinance, or a
hearing for such an Ordinance; a
Committee of Unity to discuss the
city's problems and present analysis
from citizens' as well as officials'
viewpoints; and the appointment of
an ombudsman to mediate and
investigate potential problem areas.
