Housing & Neighborhood Development Annual Report 2022-2023

In the Community

Building a ‘Neighborhood Hub’ Housing and Neighborhood Development will be among the first City departments to test out the “neighborhood hub” concept – providing government services within communities in partnership with nonprofits or other community organizations. In February, the City Council approved a resolution to purchase 1417 Glenwood Ave., the former home of the Glenwood United Methodist Church, to serve as one of these neighborhood hubs and a home base for HND. The two-acre property includes a 7,000-square foot church meeting space and offices. The property will need to undergo renovations before it is ready to house City and community organizations. As part of the sales agreement, the City Council agreed to provide four buildable lots to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro to build affordable housing.

Yanceyville Place Affordable Apartments Break Ground The 84 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will be rented to residents earning less than 60 percent of the area median income. Ten units will be designated for families with children that are transitioning out of homelessness. This project is supported by $920,000 in federal HOME funds distributed by Greensboro.
