OUR COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING

For homeowners, this includes your mortgage, insurance and property taxes. Please know the City is dedicated to helping produce, preserve & protect healthy affordable mixed-income communities with a variety of housing types at a variety of price points, both homeownership and rental, for the variety of incomes & wages we produce in Asheville.
