Understanding the FY23 Wake County and City of Raleigh budget process
As you may have heard, it’s budget season!

Public budgets are the guiding document for how taxpayer dollars are spent. They reflect a community’s values and investment priorities.

Local budgets must first provide critical services to residents, such as water and sewer infrastructure, trash collection, and public safety. Additional revenues can be allocated to other types of programs like arts and cultural resources.

Every year, Habitats across the world take part in Women Build, an initiative that started 30 years ago in Charlotte, NC, when a group of women came together to build a house alongside a woman in the Habitat homebuyer program. This concept, championed by Habitat for Humanity International, has propelled the global movement for affordable housing to new heights.
