Creating Healthy and Affordable Rental Housing in Granville and Vance Counties, North Carolina

Year: 2025

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This proposal addresses the critical necessity for Affordable and Healthy Housing in Granville and Vance counties, North Carolina, a wicked problem within the "Neighborhood and Built Environment" domain of the Social Determinants of Health. Previous studies found that 17% of residents in Granville and Vance counties endured a variation of housing insecurity between 2014 and 2018 (Johnson et al., 2022). Housing problems included overcrowding, poor infrastructure, and cost-burden rents. This proposal presents systemic barriers, identifies a steering committee of diverse partners, and analyzes current policies to address fixes that backfired in the Fair Housing Act and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance initiative. We used a comprehensive systems approach to analyze the interactions between structural, social, and policy factors that reinforce housing insecurity.
