NEW BUSINESS:
1. Developer-initiated set of proposed changes to the UDO
2. ARPA Funding
3. DCABP budget request
Subject: Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People Priority Items for ARPA Funds and Overall Principle for Budget Allocations in 2022
The Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People (DCABP) seeks to appropriately represent the needs and desired initiatives of the Black community within Durham’s Legacy Black Neighborhoods, specifically the Braggtown, Walltown, Southside, Hayti/Fayetteville Corridor, Old Farm, East Durham, North East Durham and other legacy neighborhoods, impacted by the short-term and long-term policy and budgeting priorities of the Durham County Commission and the Durham City Council and any quasi-governmental decision-making bodies impacting legacy neighborhoods over the next 20 years. The DCABP and these legacy neighborhoods have made it clear that Durham was forged by a history of decisions that have led to inequitable outcomes along racial and economic lines. To the extent possible the DCABP intends to hold the public agencies accountable to make sure that we put an end to these inequities by demanding decision-makers review both short-term and long-term policy and budgeting priorities from a racial equity lens and priorities the needs of legacy Black neighborhoods.
Historically, these legacy communities often faced the effects of trickle-down. As a result, the DCABP will always put forward recommendations that fit our needs first! We must combat the practices of trickle-down economics. It is also the responsibility of the majority to protect the interest of the minority. Thus, Durham’s agencies should structure themselves to lift from the bottom!
The Durham Committee strongly supports the prioritization of ARPA funds to address the following:
1. Using funds to address closing the racial equity gap and using a racial equity lens for both short-term and long-term priorities.
2. Utilizing City and County ARPA funds to provide Rental Assistance for the 1,500 households on currently on the waiting list for Durham Rent Relief and other low-income families at risk of Eviction.
3. Utilizing ARPA funds to increase capital improvement needs of Homeless shelters and to increase the number of units available to meet the growing number of homeless families and households in our community.
4. Prioritizing both County and City ARPA funds to fund Homeowner Repair and Accessibility Grants to help long-time (10 years) residents in legacy Durham neighborhoods stay in their homes.
5. Utilizing both County and City ARPA funds to Build Permanent Affordable Housing w/in ½ mile of any investment in rail/trail.
We ask you to consider supporting the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People Priority Items for ARPA Funds and Budget Allocations in 2022.
Please reply with your response: Do you support the DCABP Priority Items?
Stella Adams <sadams7943@aol.com>
4. Comprehensive Plan
These draft policies cover a range of topics from housing and neighborhoods, transportation, environment, and jobs and education. We are seeking feedback to understand whether they accurately reflect the needs and priorities of residents. We’re reaching out because we need your help sharing this engagement opportunity with those in your group as well as others you have connections within the community. Your input will be used to revise the draft policies.
Please check out the draft policies and share your ideas to make them better through a survey on the website:

An interesting interview series:
The Leesville Road Coalition has produced several interesting interviews recently that
we thought might be of interest to our group.
The first is a Q & A with State Representative Zack Hawkins on September 17th .
In the coming weeks, they will be having similar sessions with all the candidates up for
local elections in November. These include the State Supreme and Appellate courts, the
State Treasurer, the State superintendent of Public Instruction, the candidate running to
represent us in the NC Senate and more.
Sara Young, the Director of Planning was the guest speaker for a Leesville Coalition
interview on August 13th. We thought you might be interested in what she said. Here is
the recording.
