We build, advocate for, and manage permanent affordable housing in Durham.

The biggest need for affordable housing in Durham is for families at 30% area median income (AMI) and below, whom we serve.

Below are the Durham metro income limits eligible for land trust housing based on the number of persons living in a household as of June 2022.

  1 person 2 person 3 person 4 person
30% AMI $20,100 $22,950 $25,800 $28,650
60% AMI $40,140 $45,840 $51,600 $57,300
80% AMI $53,500 $61,150 $68,800 $76,400


An average DCLT rent = $460 whereas Durham’s average rent in 2020 was $1200. 

That’s a difference of $700 monthly or $8,000 annually!
