Fayetteville City Council approves affordable housing funding

More affordable housing could be on its way to Fayetteville. Over the course of the next year, $1.35 million will be available for developers to build more single- and multi-family housing in the city. The funding, which accounts for a portion of the Home Investment Partnership money the city will receive this year, was approved unanimously along with Community Development Block Grant funding by Fayetteville City Council at its meeting Monday evening. The city s director of economic and community development, Chris Cauley, said funding from the Home Investment Partnership historically goes toward building homes, while the block grant funding goes towards home preservation.

Thousands of new jobs available in the Triangle despite slow-down in national hiring

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – The U.S. Department of Labor reported last week that nationwide unemployment has now hit the lowest point since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020. Around 498,000 Americans filed unemployment claims in the last week of April, down by 92,000 from the previous week. North Carolina saw new claims drop by about 3,440 in the same period. But that doesn’t mean the pandemic recession is over. North Carolina is still tens of thousands of jobs short of where the state was in March 2020. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ newly released April jobs report shows a significant decline in hiring. According to the report, U.S. businesses added 266,000 new jobs in April, a notable drop from March’s revised total of 770,000. April’s unemployment rate remains at 6.1%, a tiny change from 6% in March.
