Winston-Salem is one of three cities awarded grants for a new affordable housing program. It's called “ForEveryoneHome.” The city will get $150,000 worth of support to develop strategies to create more affordable housing. The terms of the grant require the city to match $75,000 in funds which will be covered by housing bonds voters approved last fall. 

Marla Newman is the director of Community Development for the city. She spoke with WFDD's Eddie Garcia about the program and how it's in line with the goals of a recently completed housing needs assessment.
