No dollar figure attached yet — funding comes later when CURA brings forward an actual plan.
Abandoned houses and demolition contractor performance
Demolition contract dollars are being paid without completed work, and blighted houses drag down nearby property values.
Vacant Holler Brothers tiny homes on Third Avenue
$300,000 in public CLRA funds were reimbursed for the six homes, which remain unoccupied.
Triangle District revitalization
Group is raising $1.4 million privately.
HUD Annual Action Plan for housing funds
