Hendersonville staff outline draft Strategic Housing Plan aiming for 3,047 new units in five years
Summary
Staff presented a draft Strategic Housing Plan with targets to grow the city's share of county households to 18% (3,047 units) and add 2,200 units for households at or below 80% AMI; staff asked council for feedback by Nov. 6 and recommended bringing the plan forward for adoption in December, with a separate implementation addendum to follow.
City staff on Oct. 22 presented a draft Strategic Housing Plan that sets numeric goals and a timeline for adoption, and asked council to provide feedback within two weeks.
The draft includes a stated goal to grow Hendersonville’s percentage of Henderson County households to 18% over five years, a target the presentation quantified as 3,047 new housing units. The plan also lists a target of 2,200 units for households at or below 80% of area median income (AMI) over five years, and a goal that 45% of those subsidy‑targeted units be owner‑occupied.
The staff presenter outlined ten strategies and a prioritization process used to score actions by impact, cost and feasibility; actions were bucketed into short‑, mid‑ and long‑term priorities. Staff said the plan will be built into the city’s performance software (AchieveIt) after adoption to track metrics such as supply, subsidy and vacancy rates.
Staff asked council to submit any edits or additional feedback by the Nov. 6 council meeting and proposed bringing a draft for formal adoption in December, with a separate implementation plan or addendum to follow that would itemize near‑term tasks and funding assignments.
Council members asked for additional detail on the short‑term priorities and on steps staff will take to pursue partners, grants and other funding sources. Staff said they will return with the implementation details after adoption.
