News: McArthur Park II Helps Fayetteville Meet Affordable Housing Needs
The North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR) has funded its largest affordable housing project to date, an 80-unit affordable multifamily apartment development in Fayetteville called McArthur Park II.
NCORR established the Multifamily Development Fund program to provide financing to repair majorly to severely damaged rental housing in the most impacted communities, and to create new affordable multifamily housing for low- and moderate-income (LMI) households in storm-impacted communities.
Supported by the North Carolina’s HUD Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery funds for Hurricane Matthew, NCORR will fund projects that have been identified for funding through the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) process. In addition, NCORR will fund development projects in counties declared as "most impacted and distressed" (MID) by HUD for Hurricane Matthew: Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, Edgecombe, Robeson and Wayne.
