2020 Election Results: What does this mean for housing?
After months of anticipation, the 2020 election has come to a close. We are excited to report that North Carolinians made their voices heard at the ballot box, with a voter turnout rate of 75.3 percent, an increase of over six percent from 2016!

Why do election results matter?

Elected officials at all levels of government influence affordable housing. Ongoing decisions, like state or federal appropriations for affordable housing programs may be changed by our updated legislatures. The choices made by our lawmakers have a significant impact on us and our community.

Habitat Wake's 2021 Policy Priorities
Everyone deserves the personal and economic stability of a safe, affordable home.

For a home to be affordable, housing expenses must be less than 30 percent of a family's income. In Wake and Johnston counties, one in four families spends too much of their income on housing, leaving little left over for other necessities like food, transportation, education and healthcare.

As the economic impacts of COVID-19 continue to unfold, the number of families struggling to make ends meet will only grow, creating an even more urgent need for better housing solutions.

From the CEO's desk: a vote for the bond is a vote for Habitat's vision
By Habitat Wake President & CEO, Bill Ahern

Each year, tens of thousands of people in our community come together to build Habitat homes. Donors, volunteers, faith groups, and of course, the Habitat home buyers themselves, frame walls, shingle roofs and put up siding. Our homes, which are beautiful and affordable, are the work of many hands. They are the work of people in our community who show up for their neighbors.

We hope you use this resource to 1.) find your candidates and 2.) discover how they will prioritize the needs of families in your district.
