Thank You to Our Friends and Partners at Module, it's relationships like this that help DCLT to continue its mission forward. Today as we broke ground at our newest project; Alma Street Commons; we were reminded that affordable housing not just a community resource, it's a Calling.

Today was a great day for Durham as we officially broke ground on Alma Street Commons! 🎉🏡 We were honored to join community leaders, partners, supporters, and neighbors as we celebrated the beginning of a project that represents more than just new homes, it represents opportunity, stability, and a continued commitment to creating affordable homeownership opportunities in our community. Moments like these remind us why this work matters. Alma Street Commons is another step forward in our mission of Bringing Durham Home, ensuring that more families have access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing. Thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone possible. We look forward to watching this vision become a reality and welcoming future homeowners home. #BringingDurhamHome #DCLT #Groundbreaking #AffordableHousing #CommunityDevelopment #DurhamNC #Homeownership #AlmaStreetCommons
