Abstract:

Greensboro is nationally recognized for its commitment to providing affordable housing for families. By dedicating one cent of the city's property tax to the program, Greensboro has helped low-and middle-income families be first- time home buyers or rehabilitate existing homes. The program also helps nonprofit agencies build homes, renovate apartments, and improve neighborhoods. Hajian provides a list of affordable and neighborhood development programs in Greensboro.
