Davidson Housing Coalition believes that Davidson’s traditional mix of people in all income levels is fundamental to our community and distinguishes US as a town.
Dear Community,
People still sometimes wonder what it means. To US, it means safe, quality homes for those who enrich our community — people like waiters, teachers, retired military veterans and care-givers.
Rather than launch a costly government program, Davidson incubated the non-profit Davidson Housing Coalition to create housing for people whose household income was below the 80 percent average threshold of the community. We were expected to largely pay our own way through independent fund-raising. None of Mecklenburg’s other five satellite towns have programs like Davidson’s.
We’ve been at it for 25 years now, and we’ve won national recognition. Now, cities like Charlotte have awakened dramatically to the needs for affordable housing, recognizing what Davidson saw a generation ago – that it nurtures a broad diversity in the tapestry of our community and powers a skilled, stable and dedicated workforce that serves us all.
Please join us in this important work as we enter our second quarter-century in the extraordinary community named Davidson.
