City Council has approved $2.2 million in Affordable Housing Bond funds to support a new affordable housing community called Forward Together, led by local nonprofit organization Healing Transitions.
The project will create 17 new affordable units in Healing Transitions’ Women’s Campus designed specifically for women and mothers who have completed recovery programs and are ready to rebuild their lives. The property will include shared spaces for wellness, peer support, and family connection, like yoga and meditation rooms, children’s play areas, and community gathering spaces.
The site is conveniently located near public transit, grocery stores, pharmacies and schools, helping residents stay connected to the community and essential services.
This funding comes through the City’s Small-Scale Rental Development program, which helps nonprofit developers create smaller, community-based affordable housing communities across Raleigh. The program encourages innovative housing types and partnerships that fill gaps in neighborhoods where affordable options are limited.
For Raleigh residents, this means more than just new housing units: it’s more second chances, more stability for families, and more pathways to long-term recovery and independence. The property will remain affordable for at least 50 years, helping ensure that Raleigh continues to be a place where people at all stages of life can find support and opportunity.
This project is part of the City’s ongoing effort to expand affordable housing options across Raleigh, especially for residents with the greatest need. Through these efforts, Raleigh is continuing to solve the affordable housing puzzle, one piece at a time.
