Raleigh 东南区可负担住房项目推进中 25套出租房用市有地块 市府提供330万美元缺口融资
Raleigh——位于北卡罗来纳州韦克县的Raleigh市，北卡罗来纳州州长 Josh Stein 近日走访 Raleigh 东南区一栋新建成的住宅，这是非营利机构 Southeast Raleigh Promise 与 Raleigh 市政府合作的「Promise of Home」可负担住房项目的一部分。该项目计划共建25套新的可负担出租房，首栋为位于 Shaw University 附近街区的三居室住宅。
Southeast Raleigh Promise 首席执行官 Yvette Holmes 表示，目前已完成3套、其余22套将分阶段建设，整个项目预计2027年夏季完工。这25套住房分布在9块市有地块上，Raleigh 市议会已批准330万美元缺口融资，并以市有土地支持项目。其余地块上将各建两栋住宅，部分地块还会加建附属住宅单元。Holmes 说，这种在既有社区内利用小块土地、贴合街区尺度的建法，正是「缺失的中间住房」的样子。
Stein 表示，稳定的住房是经济机会的根基，但太多不同收入的人都在为找到负担得起的住房发愁。据研究估算，到2029年北卡罗来纳州住房缺口预计达75万套，其中 Wake County 约11万套。长期居民对东南 Raleigh 可负担住房不足与士绅化压力的担忧，是该项目回应的问题之一。

Southeast Raleigh Affordable Housing Advances: 25 Rental Homes on City Lots With $3.3 Million in City Gap Financing
RALEIGH — Raleigh is a city in Wake County, North Carolina. North Carolina Governor Josh Stein visited a newly constructed home in Southeast Raleigh, part of the 'Promise of Home' affordable housing initiative developed by the nonprofit Southeast Raleigh Promise in partnership with the City of Raleigh. The project will build 25 new affordable rental homes in total; the first is a three-bedroom house just blocks from Shaw University.
Yvette Holmes, CEO of Southeast Raleigh Promise, said three homes are complete and 22 more are being built in phases, with the full project expected to be finished by the summer of 2027. The homes are being built across nine city-owned lots, with the Raleigh City Council leveraging public land and approving $3.3 million in gap financing. The remaining parcels will hold two homes each, and in some cases an accessory dwelling unit will be added. Holmes said the approach — homes designed to fit within existing neighborhoods, making full use of smaller parcels — shows what 'missing middle housing' looks like in practice.
Stein said stable housing provides a foundation for economic opportunity, but too many people of varying incomes are struggling to find housing they can afford. Studies project North Carolina will be 750,000 homes short through 2029, with a supply gap of about 110,000 units in Wake County. For longtime Southeast Raleigh residents, a lack of affordable housing and the threat of gentrification are growing concerns the project seeks to address.
