The Town of Cary is working to increase the supply of affordable housing to help families at risk of being priced out of town.

BODY. >> JOHN KERRY IS WORKING TO INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO HELP FAMILIES WHO ARE AT RISK OF BEING PRICED OUT. SO RIGHT NOW, ZILLOW SHOWS THE AVERAGE RENT IN CARRIES ABOUT $2100 A MONTH. THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE JUST UNDER $600,000 WRAL'S MATT TALHELM IS LIVE OUTSIDE TOWN HALL WITH THE NEW PROGRAM THAT COULD HELP PEOPLE DISPLACED BY ALL THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT THE LEAD OF THE TOWN IS REALLY ROLLING OUT. SOME OF THE BIG RECOMMENDATIONS FROM ITS 2021. HOUSING PLAN THAT PLAN AND FOUND THAT 3900 RENTAL UNITS ARE RENTED FOR BELOW $1000 A MONTH. >> WERE LOST OVER AN 8 YEAR PERIOD HERE IN TOWN AND MORE ARE IN DANGER OF DISAPPEARING AS SOME OF THOSE OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS REDEVELOP BECAUSE THEIR LAND IS SO VALUABLE. >> THESE NEW HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN WEST CARY COMES WITH A PRICE TAG OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS AND THEIR DOOR BY THE MASSIVE MODERN MANSION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD NEXT DOOR THAT WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUPPLY AND KERRY AND IN THE REGION. HEATHER WILL HAND IS KERRY'S DIRECTOR OF HOUSING. ZONING CHANGE IN THE WORKS RIGHT NOW WOULD ALLOW MORE HOMEOWNERS TO BUILD ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS OR BACKYARD COTTAGES. THE TOWN HAS ONLY ISSUED PERMITS FOR 55, 80 USE OVER THE LAST DECADE. 80 USE ARE A GREAT OPTION FOR SENIORS THAT WANT TO AGE IN PLACE. A MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSEHOLDS INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES, CAREGIVERS. THE TOWN IS ALSO DEVELOPING A NEW PROGRAM CALLED STABLE HOMES CARRY. IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NONPROFIT DORCAS MINISTRIES TO HELP RELOCATE FAMILIES WHO COULD BE FORCED OUT BY NEW DEVELOPMENT. WE WANTED TO CREATE THIS PARTNERSHIP AND DARKEST TO LET FOLKS KNOW LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT THEM IF THE MOVE IS NECESSARY. CHATHAM ESTATES IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES MORE THAN 100 FAMILIES WHO LIVE IN THIS MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO MOVE WITH THE LAND BENEATH THEM IS SOLD. >> THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE THAT ARE IN DANGER OF OF FACING THIS EXACT SAME, THIS EXACT SAME SITUATION. >> ORCAS MINISTRY CEO ANDRE ANTHONY SAYS STABLE HOMES. KERRY WOULD PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH RESOURCES TO NOT ONLY MOVE BUT MOVE UP HIS LIFE AS IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR SOMEBODY TO GO FROM LIVING IN A MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY, TOO, POTENTIALLY FACING DISPLACEMENT TO POSSIBLY BECOMING A HOMEOWNER. >> THE TOWN PLANS TO PUT $800,000 INTO A FUND THAT WOULD START UP THAT RELOCATION OF MONEY. SO THAT WOULD BE JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FORCED TO MOVE BECAUSE REDEVELOPMENTS LIKE A CHATHAM ESTATES AND DORCAS MINISTRIES WOULD GET 1.6 MILLION DOLLARS OVER 3 YEARS TO EXPAND THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE THAT ARE HELPING PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR HOMES OR FIND NEW HOMES. TOWN COUNCIL WILL FINALIZE ALL THE DETAILS OF THAT PROGRAM AT ITS NEXT MEETING IN MARCH WAS ONLY GOING TO BE PRICED OUT

Good morning. I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner. Some patchy fog around the area this morning. But for the most part, we'll see a good bit of sunshine for it today and it will be pleasant. Our dew point or humidity is fairly low today, we'll see a high of 80 in Raleigh, 81 in Durham and 81 in Fayetteville. Today's day is nice and dry and we have some really comfortable weather in our forecast for the next couple of days this morning. Our muggy meters sitting right there, comfy. Our due point is 56. So feeling pretty good, but it starts to climb into the next several days. By Thursday and Friday, we're back up to around tropical with some warmer temperatures. Thursday. We could hit nineties again. Take a look at that temperature change. We had temperatures below normal over the weekend. So you can see that there in the blue shaded area as we move ahead, especially by midweek, we'll see the temperatures swinging back to above normal. We could be in the nineties by Thursday, but then after that, mainly mid eighties otherwise, but that's still a little bit above normal as our normal high right now is 81 degrees. Should have a beautiful evening for baseball tomorrow. Tomorrow kicks up the next home stand for the Durham Bulls Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Um, it should be very nice for that 6630 game time at six o'clock, temperatures, 79 and just holding into the seventies through the evening and the humidity still stays on the lower side for tomorrow. Again, our normal high is 81. We'll see 84 today and then 84 tomorrow, we do hit 91 on Thursday. We start to cool back down on Friday with that high of 86. But that's because we may end up with some scattered thunderstorms. Here's a look at a sneak peek at our Memorial Day. Weekend, things may change somewhat but we're definitely trending wetter for the weekend, some afternoon and evening storms on Friday as folks are trying to hit the road and head out for the weekend on Saturday, scattered showers and storms odd enough for a good chunk of the day. Sundays, maybe mainly in the afternoon and the same with Monday. But, uh, you know, we'll do our best to help you plan around it as we get closer to the weekend. We'll continue to update you on the timeline for showers and storms.
