Council Agrees to Purchase Office Building for Low-Barrier Shelter
The City Council has authorized the purchase of a $6.2 million office building for a low-barrier shelter. The 3.8-acre site, located at 2000 Holiday Dr, will provide a permanent place for people to stay overnight with minimal requirements.
According to Virginia law, localities must hold a public hearing in certain instances, which was met after an October 20 meeting. City Manager Sam Sanders was authorized to proceed with the purchase on October 6.
This is the third area site associated with a low-barrier shelter. Previously, the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority was considered for $4 million in early 2024, and the Cherry Avenue Salvation Army thrift store was also floated as an idea for a shelter.
