• Greenwood Forest Baptist Church / 10 Kilmayne

10 Kilmayne

Greenwood Forest Baptist Church, The Carying Place, and DHIC are partnering to partially redevelop the church site at 110 SE Maynard Road. The mixed use development, named “The Carr Center”, will preserve the primary worship space and add affordable housing (“The Canopy Apartments”), new daycare facilities, office space, and community programming areas for The Carying Place Journey Home program. The plan also includes town-owned land at 10 Kilmayne to provide additional affordable residential options.

About the development

DHIC plans to build 60-80 affordable units; some reserved for residents earning 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) or less and 20 reserved for The Carying Place Journey Home program participants, most of whom are at or below 50% AMI.

In addition to high-quality housing, the Journey Home Program teaches life skills, helps participants with savings, focuses on credit building, and empowers families to achieve long-term self-sufficiency. Recently, the organization updated their model to serve each family for longer periods of time in a graduated system allowing the family to develop self-sufficiency and reintegrate back into the housing market.

To pursue this vision, The Carying Place is partnering with Greenwood Forest Baptist Church (GFBC) and DHIC to build a mixed-use development on the GFBC property at the corner of Kildaire Farm Road and SE Maynard Road. After several years of visioning work with the GFBC congregation, The Carr Center redevelopment project on the church property includes multi-family units (“The Canopy Apartments”), new day care facilities, and office space to increase their capacity.

  • Greenwood Forest Baptist Church is using congregation-owned land.
  • The Carying Place, a Cary- based nonprofit, will provide transitional housing and on-site wraparound services from the new community spaces.

  • The Town of Cary’s property at 10 Kilmayne will be integrated into the overall development plan to facilitate the overall development and provide opportunity for additional residential options.

Eligibility

Eligibility for most affordable housing programs is determined by the Area Median Income (AMI), which is determined each year by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This project’s Development Plan has not yet been submitted for review, though the rezoning conditions require that, upon development, all 62 of the rental units will be rented to households earning at or below 60% of the AMI and all 9 townhomes will be sold to households earning at or below 80% of the AMI. Rent prices are not fully determined until the end of construction and will vary by applicant income and household size.
This property is within the Raleigh-Cary Metropolitan Statistical Area or (MSA) which includes Wake, Johnston and Franklin counties. The Federal Government (OMB) delineates these areas based on population as well as social and economic interaction. The income numbers derive from the ACS- American Community Survey data and are the standard for defining affordability used by federal, state, and local governments. The current AMI thresholds for the Raleigh-Cary MSA are listed here.
