I am committed to ensuring that everyone in Wake County has an affordable place to call home.

Unfortunately, because of inflation in the rental and housing markets, many North Carolina residents are now facing increased rents and the inability to purchase a home. 

To help meet this growing need, I secured $2 million in federal funding to support construction of an apartment community in Raleigh designed to end homelessness for over 100 Wake County families and individuals as well as $1 million to support youth transitioning out of foster care. I also obtained funding to support a new 127-unit development in Cary that will provide quality, affordable, mixed-income rental units at below-market rents. I continue to seek additional federal resources to address this problem locally, especially for our most vulnerable residents.

In addition, in Congress, I strongly support and advocate for policies aimed at making housing more affordable for working people nationwide, including expanding housing choice vouchers and boosting block grants to state and local governments to help provide housing to low-income families.
