Affordable Housing and North Carolina Local Governments

By Anita R. Brown-Graham

Discusses the most important grants of affordable-housing authority the state has given to local governments and points out particular legal issues associated with ways local governments engage in housing activities. It also indicates the various ways that local governments are responding to the affordable-housing crisis growing in many parts of North Carolina. Each chapter presents a "case in point" which seeks to apply principles to a specific housing problem as addressed by the United States Supreme Court or by a programmatic measure. Appendices include definitions of terms used throughout the book, a list of common affordable housing funding sources, a list of federal laws that have significantly affected the development of local government housing activity, and the text of certain state statutes related to affordable housing.
