Affordable Housing

Many areas of the state had an affordable housing shortage that grew worse when hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed by hurricanes Florence and Matthew. Increasing the availability of affordable housing for low-and-moderate income families provides homes for those still recovering from the storms and increases future safety and resiliency.
