Housing Workgroup
The housing workgroup will bring together people from a variety of backgrounds from both the public and private sectors with the goal of developing strategies to promote equitable and affordable housing options throughout the five counties. Strategies may be developed to support, but will not be limited to, the following objectives (as outlined in the original grant application and workplan documentation):
- Expand location- and energy-efficient housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races and ethnicities to increase mobility and lower the combined cost of housing and transportation.
- Develop housing initiatives interconnected with multi-modal transportation and major employers.
- Suggest infill sites for sustainable, affordable and accessible housing development along transit corridors which connect to employment centers.
- Develop a partnership between affordable housing developers and transportation system coordinators and major employment providers.
* The aforementioned objectives were generated as part of the initial HUD Sustainable Communities application process. As the GroWNC process unfolds, the workgroups should assume full liberty in revising goal statements.
