Wed Mar 13 18:47:25 EDT 2013

The Triangle Transit will host a Community Conversation with local urban
planning researchers and staff from the NC Justice Center about
Transit-Oriented Development & Affordable Housing on Friday, March 15, 2013
from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Committee Room of City Hall, 101 City
Hall Plaza.

The event will include about 45-60 minutes of presentations of recent
research on affordable housing and transit, followed by 90 minutes for
community members to ask questions, make comments, and have a broad
discussion on the topic. 

With work underway to plan for light rail in Durham and Orange counties,
Triangle Transit and local governments want to involve residents and
community groups in a dialogue on housing opportunities for residents at
many different income levels in neighborhoods along the proposed
Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit (DOLRT) corridor.  More information on the
planned rail project can be found here:

Triangle Transit, City of Durham and Town of Chapel Hill staff will be
available to contribute to discussions of specific issues in each community.

If your schedule permits, please attend.

About the Citizens Advisory Committee

The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) works to enhance housing quality and
affordability for the citizens of Durham by advising the City Council and
the Board of County Commissioners on housing and community development
needs.  Additionally, the CAC evaluates applications and makes annual
recommendations to the Durham City Council and the Durham Board of County
Commissioners concerning the allocation of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and Emergency Shelter
Grant (ESG) funds to sub-recipients.  The CAC also provides an initial
evaluation, and ranks and recommends applications pertaining to the
Continuum of Care Grant Program and other homeless initiatives to the
Homeless Services Advisory Committee (HSAC).  The CAC meets the fourth
Monday of each month in the Conference Room of the Department of Community
Development at 6PM.  For more information, contact Chairman DeWarren K.
