The Charlottesville Low-Income Housing Coalition is hosting “Whose city? A community panel about luxury and affordable housing” on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Jefferson School (233 4th St. NW, Charlottesville).

  • James Bryant, a long-time community leader who serves as vice president of the 10th and Page Neighborhood Association
  • Zyahna Bryant, who serves on the Charlottesville School Board, is active with the 10th and Page Neighborhood Association, and is deputy political director with Tom Perriello for Congress.
  • Latricia Giles, executive director of the Charlottesville Public Housing Association of Residents.

The event will be moderated by Terry Tyree, the founder of the Charlottesville Community Resilience Center.
