Woodard Properties is dedicated to working with organizations that help those experiencing difficulties get back on their feet, which contributes to the overall well-being of our community. One organization that Woodard Properties has developed a close relationship with throughout the years is the International Rescue Committee (IRC). IRC has welcomed over 4,600 refugees who have escaped violence and deprivation from 32 countries.

“The International Rescue Committee in Charlottesville is incredibly fortunate to have had Woodard Properties as a key partner in our resettlement efforts for over a decade. In the past year alone, more than 12 families and 48 individuals have been resettled with Woodard, enjoying a tenancy that provides an essential foothold for future self-sufficiency and community integration. IRC clients, particularly Woodard tenants, have become core members of the Charlottesville community, going on to study at UVA and PVCC, serving the country as Peace Corps volunteers, establishing successful businesses, and finding work as healthcare workers, teachers, and even IRC staff members. As we work through the resettlement of over 300 clients displaced by the Afghan Refugee Crisis, the IRC continues to turn to Woodard Properties as reliable and supportive partners in securing our client’s most important needs”
