🏡 Big news for affordable homeownership! With the passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, there's growing recognition of solutions that help families build stability for generations.

🏡How much harder has it become to buy a home in the Durham–Chapel Hill metro? 📍This map from @harvard_jchs State of the Nation's Housing 2026 shows how median home price-to-income ratio has changed from 1980 to 2025. The trend is clear: over the past five years, home prices have risen much faster than incomes, making homeownership increasingly out of reach for many households. That's why supporting attainable homeownership opportunities like ours is so important. Explore the map and the full report at jchs.harvard.edu

🏘 Housing affordability affects everyone,and solving it will take all of us. Read Community Home Trust Board member Karen Stegman's reflections on the @trianglecommunityfoundation's What Matters convening and why community land trusts (CLTs) are a proven path to permanently affordable homeownership.
