Local reporting and context

WUNC reports that Raleigh voters approved a housing bond in the November 3 election, part of a package of local borrowing measures. The city's proposed housing allocation was approximately $101.5 million, separate from its transportation measure.

Follow Raleigh's bond implementation schedule and Durham's separate housing plans to assess actual homes built and preserved.
