Housing Working Group

We’ve formed a Housing Working Group comprised of community members and stakeholders that will meet regularly to discuss strategies to help make the vision and goals outlined in our plan a reality. To receive notifications of upcoming meetings, please contact us to be added to our mailing list or follow the Northeast Wilmington Blueprint Community on Facebook!

Vision

A community with diverse, safe, clean and warm owner-occupied and rental housing stock attractive to all economic levels; and where the cost of housing is affordable.

Goals

  • Increase housing development with diverse and quality housing stock attractive to all economic levels.
  • Foster renovation and repair of pre-1950 homes, including programs to teach residents how to perform minor repairs and renovations.
  • Redevelop abandoned and vacant properties.
  • Ensure that rental properties are up to code and registered with the Department of Licenses & Inspections.
  • Educate and connect residents to credit counseling and homeownership resources.
