FY 2025-26 Housing & Neighborhood Development Annual Report

Director’s Message Greensboro remains an exceptional place to live, work, learn, and invest. As the city grows, so does the demand for quality, affordable housing. The Housing and Neighborhood Development Department stands committed to meet this demand through strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and responsible investment. During Fiscal Year 2025–2026, the department made significant progress in expanding housing opportunities across the community. Key accomplishments included: • supporting the launch of the Road to 10,000 initiative • assisting first-time homebuyers through down-payment assistance programs • partnering with community organizations to provide critical home repairs that help residents remain safely in their homes These achievements were made possible by the strength and dedication of our team. New staff members brought fresh perspectives and enhanced our ability to administer programs more effectively while strengthening relationships with our partners. As a result, the City received a record number of multifamily housing proposals and Greensboro’s City Council approved eight developments, which could create more than 400 new housing units and generate an anticipated community investment that exceeds $100 million. Housing remains one of Greensboro’s highest priorities, and the Housing and Neighborhood Development Department is committed to delivering exceptional service and advancing initiatives that expand present and future residential housing opportunities. Our continued work is guided by the values that define our department: transparency, efficiency, accountability, and mentality (TEAM).
