Raleigh's Housing Vision and Misson

Vision: A Raleigh where all residents have a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.

Mission: The City of Raleigh Housing and Community Development Department strives to increase the supply of safe, stable, and affordable housing and actively end and prevent homelessness. 

A Home for Every Neighbor

The City of Raleigh's 2026-2030 Affordable Housing Plan

Raleigh is facing an urgent housing affordability and homelessness crisis, compounded by a national trend of rising housing costs and inadequate housing supply. As Raleigh’s population growth outpaces housing development and development costs increase, rents and home prices are escalating. This puts pressure on households, particularly those with lower incomes. The affordability of housing in Raleigh is shaped by four key factors: housing demand, housing supply, development costs, and household income. As these factors evolve, Raleigh has experienced significant affordability challenges and a growing homelessness crisis. Learn more about what Raleigh is doing to ease these burdens!

Affordable Housing Annual Report

We invite you to read the Affordable Housing Annual report to see the Department’s affordable housing initiatives and accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2025-2026. 

Affordable housing is important to City residents with stable housing benefit from increased family stability, improved education opportunities and career advancement, and reduced risks of homelessness. Affordable housing is also a key factor in community vitality and continued economic growth.
