Housing Affordability

The "fix" for housing affordability will require bold decision making, creative thinking and deep public-private partnerships. 

​

• Gap financing for developers to continue to make investments in housing 

• Strong relationships with federal and state policy makers (HUD)

• Connect residents with Raleigh Housing Authority programs

• Drive community awareness and adoption of existing home rehabilitation and preservation initiatives

• Continued engagement with leading NGO's and non-profits like DHIC, CASA, and Habitat for Humanity Wake County

• Support resident's opinions and thoughts on forthcoming bond packages

• Down-payment assistance programs can remove the barrier to entry to home ownership

• ​Reduce and remove government operational ineffectiveness related to seeking housing assistance (long call times, wait-list, etc)

• Develop a one-stop shop resident help-desk related to housing support with ticketing, tracking and clear communication of progress
