How Businesses and Individuals Can Support Housing Choice in NC

According to a 2025 report by the NC Chamber Foundation, North Carolina faces a five-year housing inventory gap of 764,478 units. This shortage is driven by projected household growth, coupled with factors like zoning restrictions and economic pressures. The North Carolina Housing Table is building a broad, cross-sector coalition to drive bold policy changes that expand housing choices for every community across the state. Businesses, nonprofits, and civic institutions play a critical role in this mission—and there are several impactful ways to get involved:

🏛️ 1. Become a Coalition Partner

Join a growing list of organizations committed to advancing evidence-based housing solutions. As a coalition partner, you’ll gain opportunities to collaborate on policy recommendations, public education efforts, and strategic campaigns that move the needle statewide.

💬 2. Lend Your Voice

Amplify the movement by lending your expertise as a guest speaker at our virtual or in-person events, helping to educate and inspire action among policymakers, partners, and community members.

📢 3. Share Your Platform

Support awareness by sharing NC Housing Table messaging, research, and action alerts with your audience through newsletters, social media, and events.

💰 4. Sponsor Our Work

Financial contributions fuel our ability to host community forums, launch statewide campaigns, and engage directly with policymakers. Donations can be made as one-time gifts or ongoing sponsorships.

🤝 5. Host a Roundtable or Info Session

Bring local leaders, business owners, and residents together to learn about housing challenges and solutions. We’ll provide speakers and materials to help spark action in your community or industry.

📈 6. Share Your Data & Insights

If your organization has data, case studies, or client stories that illustrate the housing need in North Carolina, we welcome the chance to incorporate them into online blog posts or social channels.

Together, we can build a stronger North Carolina—where more people can live near where they work, age in place with dignity, and access housing that meets their needs.
