Join us one morning a month or more. We hope to grow the number of days we can be in the Court. May dates can be found here.

Questions about Southpoint Development

People's Alliance is an organizational partner of the Coalition for Affordable Housing and Transit. At a recent policy meeting the Coalition voted to pass on some questions to the Durham City Council and the Durham County Commissioners.

Questions regarding the Southpoint housing development:
• Why hasn’t the developer mentioned or inquired about the possible waiver of the 1.75 parking space requirement for 9% LIHTC grants?
• Why hasn’t the developer explored ways to finance affordable units using 4% LIHTC grants?
• Why does the developer pretend that a 9% LIHTC grant is needed for affordable units when affordable housing is being built without these grants and using conventional financing and other available financial tools?
• Why hasn’t the developer offered to donate land to the City to allow the Council to partner with affordable housing developers to get more affordable units built?

The full letter can be found in full at THIS link.
