Housing & Neighborhood Development Annual Report 2022-2023

About Us

From the Director As Greensboro enters a period of explosive growth and development, the need for safe, affordable housing for all people becomes even greater. This year, the Housing and Neighborhood Development Department has risen to meet this demand in new and creative ways. We’ve built resources for people experiencing homelessness, with new emergency housing options. We’ve expanded our homebuyer assistance programs to reach more people, including public service workers like teachers. We’ve doubled down on efforts that help keep homes safe and in good repair, launching a free tool lending program and expanding our lead-safe housing initiative. We’re reaching out and working with the community like never before. And we won’t stop until every person in our city can rest well in a home of their own. That’s our promise. That’s how we’re building a better community.
