Summary
Wilmington’s City Council passed a bold new ordinance to create a permanent affordable housing trust, aiming to build, buy, and maintain homes for rent, homeownership, and shelter — but Mayor John Carney vetoed it, calling the board redundant and citing a lack of clear funding. Council members countered that the temporary Housing Subcommittee can’t match the stability of a permanent board, and while the mayor pushed for faster action, some council members vow to override the veto, seeing the ordinance as a vital first step toward long-term housing solutions.
