High Point council approves conveyance of five lots and $230,737 CHDO gap funding for affordable housing
Summary
The council approved conveying five parcels to Community Housing Solutions of Guilford and authorized a CHDO agreement providing $230,737.70 in city gap financing for construction of three affordable single‑family units in the South Side community.
High Point City Council approved a conveyance of five lots to Community Housing Solutions of Guilford and authorized a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) agreement providing $230,737.70 in city gap financing for construction of three affordable single‑family homes in the South Side neighborhood.
The agreement and resolution were presented by Community Development Director Nina Wilson. Wilson told the council the conveyance and CHDO agreement will continue the city’s infill housing efforts and that there are sufficient HOME funds in the 2024–25 budget to cover the city’s portion of the construction costs.
Wilson described the lots included in the conveyance as 801 Amos Street and two parcels listed as 812 and 816 (Triant/Tryon Avenue on the agenda). She said the CHDO agreement will cover 801 Amos together with two parcels previously conveyed to Community Housing Solutions at 610 and 700 Vale (all parcel addresses listed in the staff report). Wilson said the $230,737.70 represents the city’s portion of construction for three housing units.
A council member moved to approve the CHDO agreement and the resolution of conveyance; another member seconded the motion. The mayor/chair called for the vote and said, “All in favor? Any opposes?” The chair then stated the motion would move forward; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The council’s action authorizes the appropriate city official to execute documents necessary to convey the parcels and to implement the CHDO agreement. No implementation timetable or construction start date was specified during the discussion.
Nina Wilson presented the item during the agenda and fielded clarifying questions from council members about which parcels were included; she corrected an earlier mapping error in the staff presentation before the vote.
The item advances the city’s stated infill housing and South Side redevelopment priorities by enabling Community Housing Solutions to assemble the parcels and proceed toward construction using the CHDO framework and the city gap funding.
