Need a home? NC affordable housing leaders meet

    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Affordable housing leaders are trying to help North Carolina families keep a roof over their heads at a time many are losing their homes to foreclosure.
    The North Carolina Housing Coalition is one of those sponsoring a statewide Affordable Housing Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. The gathering is designed for developers, builders, lenders, and housing advocacy groups interested in developing affordable housing.
    They’ll be discussing the resources available to help the homeless, how communities can use stimulus funds and other topics.
    Sponsors of the event include Bank of America, BB&T and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
