AMI NEWS
A super-heated local market is rapidly displacing low-income, predominantly African-American and Latinx residents – and the housing they can afford – from central neighborhoods in Durham. DCLT is struggling to respond to our communities’ rapid, publicly incentivized, and market-driven demographic transformation.
The challenge of the decade ahead is to restrain the displacement of low-income, primarily African American and Latinx renters and homeowners.
DCLT’s goal is to avoid displacement for vulnerable individuals and families who want to live in a neighborhood with bus service near jobs, schools, parks, services, and public facilities downtown.
