The North Carolina Housing Coalition has released their annual profiles on housing affordability for each county. This year, they have included foreclosure and eviction data. WHQR’s Kelly Kenoyer invited Cape Fear Housing Coalition Vice Chair Liz Carbone to talk about the region’s results. A condensed version of their conversation is below.

Kelly Kenoyer: So Liz Carbone from the Housing Coalition. Welcome.

Liz Carbone: Thank you.

KK: I hear that you have some cool new data from the statewide Housing Coalition. And I’d love to hear you tell me a little bit about what the findings are.

LC: Yeah, so we’re really fortunate in our community to be able to lean on a really great State Housing Coalition, based out of Raleigh, but serving all 100 counties. They’re, they’re huge resources and a huge asset, and they release every year, these profiles of all 100 counties. And the newest addition, which just adds another layer of helpfulness to advocates and to service providers, is the data about pending foreclosures and evictions. So it’s something that we’re talking about more and more, especially in the wake of the COVID pandemic, the eviction moratorium, so that new data that we can see for our whole region is super helpful to us.
