Special Meeting: Asheville Regional Housing Consortium (Virtual) (Jul 20, 2026)

The Asheville Regional Housing Consortium will hold a special meeting on July 20th to discuss how they’ll use federal funds (HOME-ARP) aimed at addressing homelessness and providing supportive services in our region. A key focus will be on adjusting their plan to better prioritize who receives assistance, potentially expanding services like rental aid and case management. The group will also discuss how to improve coordination with existing support systems, ensuring those in need can easily access help.

A significant decision expected at the meeting is a vote on amending their current plan to reflect these changes. The public will have an opportunity to share their thoughts during a dedicated 30-minute comment period.

This meeting is relevant to anyone interested in affordable housing, homelessness initiatives, or how federal funds are being used to support our community. Meeting details and materials can be found on the Asheville Regional Housing Consortium webpage, and a recording will likely be available afterward.
