Southwood today

In March 2007, Habitat purchased the 100 acre Southwood Mobile Home Park just south of I-64 near Charlottesville. Southwood will be developed in partnership with local developers as a high-density, mixed-use, mixed-income community with hundreds of homes and access to public transportation has been committed by local governments. This is the largest affordable housing opportunity for the area and it will have a major impact on the affordable housing crisis in the area.
Partnerships are the first step to improved living conditions.  The Hunter Smith Family Foundation has supported ongoing maintenace and repairs to roads and water lines in 2008. Comcast Cares Day kicked off a Community Clean Up Effort in the Spring.  The newly renovated office and expanded Boys and Girls Club opened in August.  The Covenant School is planning a community garden for local residents.  Please contact us to find out how you can help!
