CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The impacts of COVID-19 tightened Charlottesvilleâs budget in a number of ways, one of which was the initial recommendation to not give any money to the Public Housing Association of Residents (PHAR) internship program.
But after a late increase in revenue projections, the city gave the program $20,000, to go along with the $21,000 for PHAR as a whole.
Itâs not all that the organization asked for, but organizers say itâs crucial that it gets at least some funding.
