Davidson Housing Coalition serves as the arm of the Town of Davidson in its implementation of the Affordable Housing Ordinance, requiring 12.5% of each new residential development to be designated as affordable housing. Davidson Housing Coalition has worked with the Town and developers to construct rental properties, including The Bungalows and Creekside Corner, single-family homes and town homes available for purchase. With the current growth in Davidson, approximately 200 affordable units will be available to lower-wealth families and individuals who earn less than 80% of the area median income to purchase or lease-to-purchase in the coming years. For information about some of the developments coming online in the Town of Davidson, click here.

Families and individuals interested in purchasing an affordable home through this ordinance must complete DHC's Homebuyer Education and Counseling program. If you are interested in becoming a homeowner or finding out if you qualify for an affordable unit, follow these steps:

All Homebuyer Education workshops and One-on-One counseling sessions are offered to anyone in need of such services. Minimal fees apply to assist DHC with program expenses.

Some individuals and families have participated in DHC's Lease to Purchase program. While planning for their eventual purchase of a home, DHC allows families with more extensive credit or financial concerns to lease the property for a period of time to prepare for home purchase with DHC's Financial and Housing Counselor.  Program dependent on the availability of such a unit.

SHARE Network Access Point - A Job Search Initiative

In June 2010, Davidson Housing Coalition, in partnership with the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Workforce Development  Board and JobLink Career Center, established SHARE Network Access Point. SHARE, Sharing How Access to  Resources Empowers, is a community program designed to give local residents access to job search  resources that would otherwise be unavailable. SHARE seeks to close the gap between the increase in  unemployment and the people who cannot easily access job search services. Since the programs’ launch,  more than 130 people have utilized the SHARE program and more than 30 clients have successfully found  employment.    

SHARE provides clients with one-on-one consultations with job search counselor Gail Brooks-Lemkin. With  more than 20 years of experience in workforce development, Gail assesses client’s needs to provide the  most effective assistance. In addition to meeting with a job search counselor, clients also have access to  the SHARE Network Resource Directory, a web-based directory that contains comprehensive listings of  services that are relevant to job seekers.    

What Can Share Do For You?  

Educate you about the current labor market 

Help you prepare a resume

If you are interested in the SHARE program and would like to set up an appointment with Gail, please call our office at 704.892.4486 or email Gail at gail@davidsonhousing.org
