Housing Alamance

In January 2026, we pivoted our Housing Alamance efforts to better address the critical gaps in our local housing landscape. After an extensive review of local and national data and many conversations with stakeholders across the housing spectrum, we identified a clear priority: shifting from a reactive stance to a proactive, community-wide response to the eviction crisis.

With the invaluable support of our partners, we have hosted a series of strategic events designed to engage and empower Alamance County residents, tenants, our local safety net providers, as well as our rental property owners and managers. These sessions provide the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of housing stability.

The events hosted thus far include:

  • Eviction 101
  • Understanding 2-1-1
  • Navigating Housing in Alamance County
  • Housing and Eviction Mediation Training
  • Community Safety and Resources Breakfast for Rental Property Owners
  • Housing-Focused Community Council Meeting
  • 2026 Housing Alamance Summit

Data-Driven Solutions
Awareness starts with accurate information. We are actively collecting and analyzing local eviction data to provide a clear picture of the challenges facing our neighbors.

At the 2026 Housing Alamance Summit, we presented our comprehensive research findings on local evictions spanning from January through March 2025.

Collaborative Leadership
Change does not happen in a vacuum. To ensure sustained momentum, we continue to convene the Alamance County Housing Committee on a quarterly basis, bringing together community members and partner agencies to coordinate efforts.

Our Partners
This work is made possible through the dedicated collaboration of:

  • United Way of North Carolina & NC 211
  • The Hayden-Harman Foundation
  • Cone Health
  • Bank of America
  • Elon University
  • Legal Aid of North Carolina

Ultimately, addressing the local eviction crisis is a fundamental step toward building a more resilient Alamance County. When families are forced from their homes, the resulting instability fractures the very foundation of our community, impacting health, education, and long-term financial security. By prioritizing housing stability, we are not just preventing displacement; we are ensuring our community is durable enough to withstand economic shocks and that every neighbor has a solid foundation upon which to thrive. Together with our partners, United Way of Alamance County remains committed to fostering a proactive, connected, and supportive environment where housing is the cornerstone of our shared strength.
