Holly Springs Maps Path to Affordable Housing | Durham News

Holly Springs is racing to solve its housing crisis with a bold new three-year plan, set to become its first-ever Housing Affordability Action Plan. With the town’s population exploding from under 1,000 in 1990 to over 51,000 last year—thanks to booming business growth—rents have climbed 22% and home prices 62% since 2019. The plan tackles rising costs and limited housing options by updating zoning, permitting, and staffing, while outlining nine flexible goals like better online tools, partnerships, and incentives. But residents and council members are pushing for clearer definitions of “affordability” and financial impacts. The plan faces a planning board review on September 22 and a final council vote on October 20, with community input to shape concrete targets afterward.
