Charlene C. Harris hoped to live out her years at 1600 Colorado Ave., the single- family brick cottage that she and her family have called home for 47 years.
But now the retired 68-year- old state employee is being told she must either purchase the two-bedroom home from her landlord, the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority, or face moving.
“It’s a terrible situation,” she said. “RRHA has told me I have to put up $500 to begin the process and to get a mortgage by December. Otherwise, I would have to accept relocation.”
Like other public housing tenants of such homes, she feels caught in a Catch-22. Until she puts up the $500, RRHA won’t provide an appraisal that would let her know what the sales price would be so she could figure out if she could afford

![The City of Richmond has unveiled its possible design plans for the former site of the Robert E. Lee statue on Monument Avenue. The controversial statue was removed one year ago after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that “values change and public policy changes, too” in a democracy.
The site frequently is referred to as the Marcus David Peters Circle by some community activists since the summer of 2020 following the deaths of George Floyd and other Black people who died at the hands of law enforcement. The city’s Urban Design Committee will review the temporary plans that include removing the fencing and concrete graffiti barriers and installing landscaping that could cost up to $100,000.
According to the City, this is not the final plan for the “Reimagine Monument Avenue” project. A meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 8, convened by the Urban Design Committee, to discuss plans. The Richmond Planning Commission’s final vote is scheduled Sept. 19.](https://epmgaa.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com/img/photos/2022/09/08/Cityscape_cirlce_090522_RHB7_r190x220.jpg?15134d8ecf80f15357c5f07aa65289834e904796)
