This past year was one of growth and change for Affordable Housing and Community Connections. Together with our partners, our team achieved many key milestones to continue advancing the Town Council’s affordable housing and community connections goals. Highlights included:
Unanimous approval by Council of our first-ever Comprehensive Affordable Housing Plan.
Breaking ground on Trinity Court public housing redevelopment.
Leveraging funding to support projects, including a $1.5M Community Project Funding award from Congresswoman Foushee's office.
Enhancing our focus on public housing resident engagement and maintenance of our units, hosting neighborhood Meet and Greets, completing major repair projects, and more.
Continuing to lead programs and initiatives that reach the Town's under-engaged populations and meet vital community needs, such as the Summer Youth Employment Program, Cookies and Community, Peoples Academy, Human Services, and Food Distribution.
Merging together our Public Housing and Affordable Housing & Community Connections departments into one cohesive team working towards a shared mission.
Thank you to all of the residents and community partners who contributed to our shared efforts to build an inclusive community where all residents have access to affordable housing and opportunities to thrive.
