Project Overview

The project updates the 2008 Affordable Housing Plan that was created by the Mayor’s Taskforce on Affordable Housing, which was last updated in 2015. Every five years, the city works with the Housing Consortium to write a Consolidated Plan which has goals and strategies to be used for federal funding. The City and community was in need of a plan that directs the use of local funds and resources including the Housing Trust Fund, Land Use Incentive Grants and Bond dollars. The 2008 strategies did include strategies pertaining to unhoused people. An updated plan will also help the city plan for any future bond programs, and outline funding priorities for partnerships with other institutions (Buncombe County, Dogwood Health Trust).
