ONE Wake’s Homeownership to Equity Campaign takes a step forward in our September 19 Assembly as we feature future homeowners and residents who are struggling to remain among us as neighbors. Hear their stories; listen as we present solutions to elected officials throughout Wake County. St. Paul’s is pledging a large turnout, and we need your support; the event will be held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Raleigh, so a carpool will be planned. Questions? Contact Christina Myers at chmyers5@gmail.com.
We cannot continue to operate in the same systems, hoping that developers will care enough to save a small portion of property for those who want to live and work here. Housing at all affordability levels is an investment in a thriving civil society. People are not thriving when they are spending more than 30% of their wages on housing, and that number is above 1/4 of all households in Wake County – it is not going down. We can do better by acting together.
