YWCA's Affordable Housing Development
A Groundbreaking Opportunity for Good
YWCA Central Carolinas and DreamKey Partners are proud to be transforming the front lawn of our 10-acre property on Park Road into 80 affordable housing units. These units will be reserved for households earning 30% – 60% area median income. They are desperately needed as one solution to Charlotte’s ever-growing affordable housing crisis, which has been intensified by the increase in homelessness throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
