This Giving Tuesday, Help Us Build a Region Where Everyone Has a Place to Call Home
With your support, CITYBUILDER continues the fight for more housing
Dear CITYBUILDER Community,
This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to support something simple, urgent, and deeply human:
Housing is a human right.
Here in the Triangle, the need for more homes is personal. Many endure long commutes, traveling to jobs located where housing is unattainable. Families struggle to stay near schools. Young people are priced out of communities where they grew up, where their aging parents still live. Seniors search for stability on a fixed income. People with low incomes are priced out of shelter entirely. The cost of doing nothing is high, and the window for meaningful action is now.
CITYBUILDER advocates for better housing policy, more transparent public discourse, and a region where all neighbors are welcome. We fight every day so the people who live here have the homes they need.
At CITYBUILDER, we believe in a future where everyone has a safe, stable place to live. We work to bring housing choice policies to our region by:
Connecting the dots between affordability, building, and the lived experience of real people.
Providing clear, accessible information so residents can speak up for more housing in their neighborhoods.
Bringing communities together through events, conversations, and coalitions that keep housing at the center of public life.
Advocating for reforms that make it possible to build the homes our region needs urgently.
Lifting up the work of those who are building affordability in our communities.
But we can only keep fighting with your support.
Your Giving Tuesday gift strengthens a movement that is fighting for a simple truth: everyone deserves a home.
When you donate to CITYBUILDER, you’ll help us reach more people with our clear, hopeful, pro-housing news and narratives. You help us grow the community events and forums where neighbors come together, connect and build real power. You make it possible for us to push for policy changes that unlock more homes across the Triangle and move our region toward a future where abundance guides our choices; where everyone has a place to belong.
Any amount you give today makes a meaningful difference. Our community is growing every week and donations from engaged supporters like you help move us closer to a region where no one is left behind simply because there aren’t enough homes.
Give today and help us build that future together.
Thank you for believing in this work. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for helping to build a Triangle where everyone can afford to live.
With gratitude,
Jenn Truman
Founder, CITYBUILDER
