The Greensboro City Council has unanimously adopted the Road to 10,000 Policy Framework, establishing a long-term strategy to address Greensboro’s housing needs and support the City’s continued growth.

The framework will guide future housing policies, investments, and partnerships as the City works toward its goal of creating 10,000 new housing units by 2030. It also advances Vision36 by supporting housing choices that expand economic opportunity and help employers attract and retain talent.

Developed through more than a year of public engagement, the framework reflects input from residents, neighborhood leaders, housing professionals, nonprofit organizations, developers, employers, and a community advisory task force. Its recommendations are also informed by local data and national best practices.

 The framework identifies five strategic priorities:

• Expand housing choices.
• Strengthen public, private, and nonprofit partnerships.
• Support affordable and workforce housing.
• Preserve existing neighborhoods.
• Increase transparency and accountability.

 Greensboro is projected to need more than 33,000 additional homes to meet the needs of current and future residents across a range of incomes and housing types.

 “Greensboro’s growth requires us to plan now for the housing needs of current and future residents,” said Assistant City Manager Nasha McCray. “This framework gives the City a clear direction for evaluating future policies, investments, and partnerships, while creating greater transparency around our progress.”

 Adoption of the framework begins the implementation process. Individual recommendations, funding strategies, and other actions will be evaluated by the City Council through future policy and budget decisions.
