Abstract:
Durham will evict approximately 200 low-income residents from their Lincoln Apartment homes. The property owner can no longer afford the utilities and upkeep. None of the city’s recent initiatives will immediately help them. The city has a waiting list for affordable housing, Section 8 housing is closed, and funding is scarce. The budget includes plans for expanding affordable housing over the next five years, but it won’t help those Lincoln Apartment residents now.

Abstract:
Abandoned homes, such as 212 E. Geer St. in Durham, are primarily situated in low-income, minority neighborhoods where lending banks aren’t likely to pay for upkeep. This often leads to a crime problem as squatters, prostitutes, and drug dealers use the property for illegal purposes. This affects the neighborhood community as property values decrease and crime increases as banks let the houses fall apart. In Durham, some community groups are acting to try to renovate houses and make the neighbors a safer place.

To ensure that affordable housing is available to citizens, some state legislatures mandate that local governments make provisions to create more low-cost units. North Carolina does not do this. Using examples of what has been done in other states, such as Nevada and California, Stowell discusses what could be possible in North Carolina.
