The Transformation of Sunrise Trailer Court: Replacing Housing Without Displacing Residents

Habitat for Humanity strives to fulfill its nationwide mission of providing home ownership opportunities to low income people living in substandard housing. In communities where Habitat is accustomed to building single family homes, rising land values are forcing Habitat affiliates to build at a higher density. At the same time, rising land costs encourage gentrification and the displacement of low-income families from affordable rental housing. Through the URBAN HABITATS competition, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville in partnership with the Charlottesville Community Design Center is seeking realistic, innovative, universal models for multi-family housing while preventing gentrification and displacement of the current residents. Habitat aims to transform Sunrise Trailer Court into a renewed community that incorporates sustainable building methods, community green space, and commercial space for service providers of children, youth, elderly, and health needs. Be!
