identified this lack of decent data as a major community issue. Preliminary discussions led to the idea that a community-based partnership would be the best method of tackling this complex issue.
Creating a
partnership
The Rappahannock Community Housing Partnership is an initiative to identify, address, and remedy the housing needs of Rappahannock County. Facilitated by FHC, a local non-profit with a 36-year history of solving housing issues, partnered with the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, and fueled by an inter-agency cooperative effort, RHCP maintains a truly communityoriented vision.
As cited in the Rappahannock Comprehensive Plan and noted by area social service workers, realtors, and employers, there is a growing community awareness of a lack of affordable housing options suitable for all county residents. It is the goal of RHCP to clarify and meet county housing needs in a sustainable and community-integrated manner.
RCHP will be holding an initial community meeting on March 14 at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library.
The meeting agenda will include an introduction to the Rappahannock Community Housing Partnership initiative, including basic concepts, data, and goals, a round table discussion of county-wide housing issues, and an invitation to all interested agencies and community members to join and forge this partnership.
