New Affordable Housing Community Named for Local Activist Breaks Ground
A new affordable housing community, named in honor of a Chapel Hill community leader, broke ground in Orange County last week. Under development by CASA, and located off Merritt Mill Road, the future Perry Place development will serve 48 families and individuals. CASA, a non-profit affordable housing developer and property manager, works to provide access to stable, affordable housing for people who are homeless or at risk by developing and managing rental communities. CASA received funding and a loan for the new Perry Place development from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. Other funding was provided by Orange County, Town of Chapel Hill, Town of Carrboro, and local charity Strowd Roses.
