Charlottesville Area Community ID Program 

In 2018, the Welcoming Greater Charlottesville task force took the initiative to help create a community ID program for the Charlottesville community because we learned how much good it has done in other communities around the country. We're delighted that it has been such a wonderful success since it began in March 2019. Over 600 residents have received our card, and they're telling us it's been a great benefit:

• to access government services they need

• sign up for cable TV and Internet

• obtain medical services

• sign a lease

• enroll their kids in school

 

They also tell us the card has helped them in dealing with local law enforcement officials. And some say it makes them feel more welcomed here as part of our community.
