A PLACE TO CALL HOME
With a city as dynamic as Raleigh, quality housing options for everyone is a challenge. The City of Raleigh does its part to encourage developers to include affordable units in their projects. The City also maintains a limited fund to help people with things ranging from payment assistance to routine maintenance. This is a tricky puzzle, but the City is tackling it piece by piece so that everyone has a place to call home.
