North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
Oxford House, Inc“Organizational Profile and History:
The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency is a self-supporting public agency. The Agency’s mission is to create affordable housing opportunities for North Carolinians whose needs are not met by the market. Since its creation in 1973 by the General Assembly, the Agency has financed more than 163,000 affordable homes and apartments, totaling $9 billion.
The Agency provides financing through the sale of tax-exempt bonds and management of federal and state tax credit programs, the federal HOME Program, the state Housing Trust Fund, and other programs.
What we offer:
Using these resources and its own earnings, the Agency:
• offers low-cost mortgages and downpayment assistance for first-time home buyers
• finances affordable homes and apartments developed by local governments, nonprofit organizations, and private owners
• finances the development of housing for people with special needs
• finances the rehabilitation of substandard owner-occupied homes
• administers HUD rent assistance contracts for 24,000 privately owned apartments statewide.”
The Oxford House concept provides a model for developing grassroots self-sustaining recovery housing. They present:
“Oxford House is a concept in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. In its simplest form, an Oxford House describes a democratically run, self-supporting and drug free home. Parallel to this concept lies the organizational structure of Oxford House, Inc. This publicly supported, non-profit 501(c)3 corporation is the umbrella organization which provides the network connecting all Oxford Houses and allocates resources to duplicate the Oxford House concept where needs arise.
The number of residents in a House may range from six to fifteen; there are houses for men, houses for women, and houses which accept women with children. Oxford Houses flourish in metropolitan areas, such as New York City and Washington D.C. and thrive in such diverse communities, as Hawaii, Washington State, Canada and Australia; but they all abide by the basic criteria.
Each House represents a remarkably effective and low cost method of preventing relapse. This was the purpose of the first Oxford House established in 1975, and this purpose is served, day by day, house after house, in each of over 1,000 houses in the United States today.”
