Special Meeting: Asheville Regional Housing Consortium (Virtual) (Aug 12, 2026)

The Asheville Regional Housing Consortium will hold a virtual meeting on August 12th to discuss important updates and decisions related to regional housing programs. Key topics include a review of the HOME Program’s progress, welcoming new member municipalities (Marshall and Mars Hill), and considering recommendations for funding allocations in 2027-2028. A significant portion of the meeting will be dedicated to a potential amendment to the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, which could impact how funds are prioritized for supportive services and affordable rental construction.

A crucial aspect of this meeting will be votes on both the 2027-2028 HOME funding recommendations and the proposed amendment to the HOME-ARP Allocation Plan. These decisions will directly influence how housing resources are distributed across the region, potentially impacting access to affordable housing and supportive services. Members of the public are invited to share their thoughts during a dedicated 30-minute public comment period.

For those interested in learning more about regional housing initiatives and how funding decisions are made, the meeting will be broadcast on the City of Asheville’s YouTube channel. The next meeting is scheduled for November 18th and will be held in person.
