Expert panel to discuss Wilmington’s housing crisis at the Monday Monday Summit – The News Journal

The city faces a deepening housing crisis with 500 free properties, exacerbated by the lack of coordination between residential resources and development plans.

To cope with these challenges, State Senator Elizabeth “Tizzy” Lockman convenes a housing meeting on Monday. The closed -door meeting will unite local civic leaders, housing experts and representatives of state agencies to discuss a unified strategy to deal with the city’s housing crisis.

The main issues on the agenda include the conversion of free properties into homes at affordable prices, expanding transitional housing programs and creating new paths to home ownership.
