Who We Serve
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 2021.
| 1 person | 2 person | 3 person | 4 person | |
| 30% AMI | $18,150 | $20,750 | $23,350 | $25,900 |
| 60% AMI | $36,300 | $41,520 | $46,680 | $51,840 |
| 80% AMI | $48,400 | $55,300 | $62,200 | $69,100 |
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!
