Abstract:

Orange County, North Carolina, located in the state's booming Research Triangle region, is increasingly becoming an area in which only the affluent can afford to live, threatening the economic, racial and cultural diversity that is needed for a healthy society. In response to the county's dwindling supply of affordable housing, area activists and governments together established the Community Land Trust in Orange County (CLTOC), incorporated in 1999. Two years later, CLTOC is now beginning to realize its goal of creating housing that will remain permanently affordable for generations.

Abstract:

In September 1999, eastern North Carolina experienced a natural disaster of epic proportions. Unfortunately, the federal funds for disaster relief were not as much as originally hoped, and many small businesses and non-profits, including child care providers, were heavily hit. Self-Help, one of the largest community development institutions in the nation, has created a grant program supported by the state of North Carolina to finance loans to child care providers impacted by the flooding.
