Housing Location & Navigation

Creating affordable housing & building landlord partnerships

Finding affordable housing in Durham has become increasingly difficult in recent years. From 2019 to 2020, the average monthly rent for a 1-bedroom unit in Durham jumped by 34% to $1,333/month. For our most vulnerable neighbors, especially those experiencing homelessness, finding housing can seem insurmountable.
