Housing Affordability: Face to Face

ONE Wake's Homeownership to Equity Campaign takes a step forward in this assembly as we feature future homeowners and residents seeking their place among us as our neighbors. Join us as we hear their stories; listen as we present solutions to elected officials from Raleigh and throughout Wake County.

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.

Every institution is expected to turn out in strength. Our goal is to match—and exceed—the energy and turnout of last July’s action.
