Affordable Housing Bond Spending Plan

Current Activities

In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, $19.8 million in bond funding will be committed toward creating and sustaining affordable housing development in Raleigh. 

Currently, the City is working on the following activities:

• Small-Scale Rental Projects Development: A total of $2 million in bond proceeds will help support the creation of transitional housing and affordable rental projects in which at least one-third of the units are targeted to the <30% AMI. A conditional commitment has been extended to Southeast Raleigh Promise. Learn more
• Equitable development around transit is a focus for fiscal years 2021-2023. The consideration of growth around future transit corridors, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), ensures residents can live near and easily access work, school, and community resources. 
• King's Ridge: The City will provide $7 million in bond proceeds, with an additional $1.4 million in federal funds, toward the development of King's Ridge. CASA, a local nonprofit organization, will build and manage the property. Apartments are reserved for households exiting homelessness with incomes at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), with a priority given to households at 30% AMI. 
• Expansion at Healing Transitions: The City will contribute $3 million in bond proceeds toward an expansion and renovation of its men’s campus, adding 110 beds. The funds will also allow for expanded living and program spaces to better serve the community. Learn more
