FY 2025-26 Housing & Neighborhood Development Annual Report

Assistance for Homeowners and Neighborhoods Homeownership starts with a dream – a place of your own, an investment in your future, security for your children, and financial stability in your older years. The barriers to this dream can seem insurmountable: an unknown process, lack of resources, or no affordable options near your familiar neighborhood.

Housing and Neighborhood Development staff work to break down these barriers. Along with partner agencies, we educate and counsel prospective homebuyers, offer down-payment assistance, and collaborate with developers to build affordable housing in established neighborhoods. The City also supports existing homeowners through its Low-Income Homeowner Assistance Program and home repair grants for energy efficiency, safety, and accessibility modifications. The department is not just in the housing business. It works with other City departments to coordinate resources,

The department joined the Housing Consultants Group, the Greensboro Regional REALTORS® Association (GGRA), and the Women’s Council of REALTORS® NC Piedmont at an event for first-time homebuyers in June.

Crews placed the final beam on construction of the Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex in June 2026. The transformational community space in east Greensboro features a library, recreation center, pool, and outdoor park.
