Employee Housing/Durham County.

This bill authorizes the Durham Public Schools Board of Education and Durham County to partner with private entities to build and manage affordable rental housing. The housing would be restricted to teachers, police officers, first responders, and other employees of these organizations, with at least 75% of the units reserved specifically for teachers. The legislation allows the use of existing public land and permits the charging of below-market rents while ensuring all units still meet standard building and safety codes.
