A study by UNC Greensboro, commissioned by the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County.
The findings of a recent housing study are surprising to few: the city of Wilmington and New Hanover County are verging on a housing affordability crisis. But advocates say the report may act as a catalyst for new housing policies in the region.
The study set the stakes quite high: more than half of New Hanover’s renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing, and little housing is available that’s affordable for low-wage earners.
Katrina Knight, Executive Director of Good Shepherd Center, has been talking about a crisis in affordable housing since she came to Wilmington in 2004. She advocated for the study as a member of the ad hoc committee on housing several years ago.
Their long friendship meant that they naturally formed the kind of alliance others are seeking more deliberately, as the country again confronts racial strife. They have struck a chord. A photo that Won posted on Facebook in March showing the women wearing T-shirts reading “I will use my breath to speak up for those who can’t breathe” quickly got 11,000 likes.
“Sisters in the resistance as we stand in solidarity against bigotry and hate!” she wrote. “We ve marched for #BlackLivesMatter and to #StopAsianHate and will continue to #ShowUpForRacialJustice until our last breath. Please join us in choosing #LoveOverHate!” I felt really good that I could be there for her, to support her and family for the Black Lives Matter movement last year and ongoing, obviously, Won said. And for me, it feels so good, it s a relief, to go to a protest but have some good friends who are not Asian at that rally to stop Asian hate.
