Affordable housing and supportive services for homeless veterans — building pathways from crisis to community across North Carolina.
NC Growth & Development Initiative, Inc. (NCGDI) operates at the intersection of affordable housing and veteran wellbeing. We believe that stable, permanent housing is the foundation upon which every other recovery milestone is built.
Based in Winston-Salem, NC, NCGDI develops, acquires, and operates permanent supportive housing paired with wraparound clinical services — creating pathways from homelessness to lasting community integration for veterans across North Carolina.
Our long-term vision: 150–200 units of veteran-focused housing across the region, anchored by the Veterans Village campus and our operational base at Prosperity Commons (1242 W. Academy St., Winston-Salem).
Permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans on city-owned parcels in Winston-Salem — a landmark development connecting housing with clinical care.
Veterans Village is NCGDI's flagship development: 36 units of permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans, developed on City of Winston-Salem–owned parcels. The project pairs quality housing with on-site clinical services, VA HUD-VASH rental assistance, and evidence-based supportive programs.
Construction is stick-built per architect/builder Burney & Burney's recommendation — ensuring quality, community integration, and long-term durability. The capital stack includes CDBG, HOME, VA GPD, HUD-VASH vouchers, and private philanthropy, with a $500,000 AHD ask representing strong per-unit leverage.
Capital stack includes anticipated funding sources; not all commitments are finalized.
NCGDI pursues a diversified capital strategy combining federal, local government, and philanthropic funding across each project cycle.
