Facts: 46% of renters are cost burdened in Buncombe county, housing is more expensive than 98% of the state, and 1% rental openings. With rents rising 47% in a short period of time, this is increasing homelessness and preventing rental assistance to work. @DogwoodWNC

[Channah VanRegenmorter @vanregenmorter]

“Every organization has capital they can bring to the table— social, moral, intellectual, reputations, financial. We can build bridges, name what must be changed, call out creative voices, stand up for change, and contribute what we can.” David Dodson @DogwoodWNC
