For the second year in a row, the Town provided almost $100,000 in property tax assistance to homeowners in Chapel Hill in partnership with the Marian Cheek Jackson Center and Orange County. This funding follows one of the recommendations in the Town’s Council-approved Affordable Housing Plan and Investment Strategy as a way of expanding and preserving affordable homeownership.
This year, 132 low-income households were assisted, many of whom were elderly and people of color. See below for more details about the program results. Across the two years of the program, a total of 175 households received assistance; about half received assistance in both years.
