Highlights about Housing Policy

The Durham City Council proclaims Supportive Housing Week, directs new resources and the 103 South Driver Street building to Communities in Partnership, and approves millions in HUD housing and fair‑housing grants while extending voter‑approved affordable housing bonds amid calls for clearer public accountability. Residents and council members clash over rural protections and annexation rules in Comprehensive Plan updates, culminating in a close 4–3 vote on the city’s growth policies.
