(ABC 45) Greensboro Housing Coalition: Championing Affordable Housing in Our Community
For over two decades, the Greensboro Housing Coalition has been a vital advocate for fair, safe, and affordable housing. A recent video by ABC45 highlights the Coalition’s continued efforts to support low- and moderate-income residents facing housing challenges. With a strong focus on counseling, education, and advocacy, the Coalition aims to help individuals and families not just secure housing but achieve long-term stability.
The Crisis of Affordable Housing
Housing affordability remains a critical issue in Greensboro, as rising home prices outpace wages. Whether it’s helping renters avoid eviction or guiding homeowners through foreclosure challenges, the Coalition specializes in housing counseling to keep people in their homes. Their mission also reinforces the importance of recognizing connections between housing stability and other essential needs, such as access to jobs, healthcare, and healthy food.
Making a Difference During Difficult Times
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Greensboro Housing Coalition proved itself as a lifeline for the community. By managing a housing hotline and distributing $5.6 million in rental and utility aid, they ensured hundreds of families could avoid homelessness in a time of crisis. This dedication speaks volumes about the impact local organizations can have when equipped with the right resources and supported by a committed community.
