Our Impact

At NC Growth & Development Initiative (NCGDI), our mission is to expand affordable housing, supportive services, and economic opportunity across North Carolina. Every program, partnership, and development is designed to create measurable, long-term outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.

This page highlights the real progress we’re making today — and the future impact we are building toward as funding and partnerships expand.

Why Our Work Matters

The lack of affordable and supportive housing in North Carolina continues to grow, leaving many residents facing:

  • Chronic housing instability

  • Recovery challenges without support

  • Barriers to employment

  • Limited access to safe, stable environments

  • Re-entry obstacles after incarceration

  • Family displacement and generational hardship

NCGDI exists to change that.
Through housing, services, and partnerships, we help people move from crisis → stability → independence.

Our Impact Areas

1. Housing Stability

Stable housing creates the foundation for life transformation.
Our efforts currently support:

  • Affordable housing development in multiple NC communities

  • Supportive housing environments for men in recovery

  • Guaranteed-rent placements through landlord partnerships

  • Housing access for individuals in re-entry or transition

  • Reduced vacancies for property owners who join our program

Future Housing Impact Goals (2024–2027):

  • Develop or support 80+ supportive housing beds

  • Create and preserve dozens of affordable units statewide

  • Expand partnerships with 50+ landlords and property owners

  • Launch multi-phase development at Prosperity Commons

2. Recovery & Re-Entry Support

Housing alone isn’t enough — individuals need stability, consistency, and support as they rebuild.

Through community partners, residents gain access to:

  • Case management

  • Recovery support groups

  • Peer mentorship

  • Mental health referrals

  • Transportation resources

  • Life-skills coaching

Projected Impact:

  • Connect 100+ residents per year to stabilization resources

  • Reduce relapse and recidivism rates among supported individuals

  • Strengthen long-term outcomes for returning citizens

3. Workforce Pathways & Economic Mobility (Coming Soon)

Economic stability is the path to independence. With adequate funding, NCGDI will launch a comprehensive workforce initiative offering:

  • Skilled trades training

  • Electrical fundamentals and tool safety

  • Digital literacy and remote work opportunities

  • Resume and interview coaching

  • Paid job placements and apprenticeships

  • Financial literacy education

Expected Impact Once Fully Funded:

  • Serve 60–100 participants annually

  • Place 40+ residents into employment or training

  • Support 25+ individuals with remote-work readiness

  • Increase long-term income stability among residents

4. Community Partnerships & Support Services

We strengthen local communities by working with:

  • Service providers

  • Behavioral health agencies

  • Workforce development programs

  • City and county housing offices

  • Private landlords and property owners

  • Local nonprofits and support networks

Partnership Impact:

  • Expanded housing availability
