Summary
Wilmington’s housing crisis just got more complicated: Mayor John Carney vetoed a council-backed housing trust fund, calling it unfunded and redundant, while Councilwoman Shanè Darby pushed back, insisting her plan could be self-sustaining and was essential for long-term affordability. The split reflects deeper tensions over how to tackle homelessness and housing shortages — with the council ultimately passing the mayor’s developer subsidy plan and Darby’s trust fund ordinance, signaling a divided city. Darby’s next move? A new measure that could force developers to pay more into the city — a potential lifeline for future housing initiatives.
