What We Do

The City of Concord founded the Concord Family Enrichment Association at the end of 2019, which became fully operational in 2021. The organization was renamed WeBuild Concord in 2022, a nonprofit established to develop equitable strategies for attainable housing and to merge private, public, and social resources to create wealth and promote economic mobility for residents.  Beginning with the 2020-2021 fiscal budget, the city gave 1 cent of the tax rate to affordable housing. This investment is set to recur each year, equaling $1.8 million for FY26-27. WeBuild has partnerships that include the City of Concord, Cabarrus County, dozens of nonprofits, and for-profit companies to make attainable housing possible. 

Resident Impact

WeBuild has built 55 homes with 27 under development and several prospective developments. During Fiscal Year 25-26, 16 homes were sold or placed under contract, resulting in a total of $4.2 million in new homeowner assets. As of FY 25-26, 181 people live in WeBuild homes. The average WeBuild resident saves over $360 per month by living in or owning a WeBuild home. The average age of a WeBuild homeowner is 36, four years younger than the national average for first-time homeowners. 

Economic Impact

During FY 25-26, over 240 employees worked at WeBuild sites. The overall economic impact of projects and housing developments was $15.2 million, according to the National Homebuilders Association's formulas. Over the last two years, the total impact exceeds $32.7 million. Over the last three years, WeBuild developed, sold, or held over $28 million in assets. 

Neighborhood Impact

•  The Lincoln Street Townhomes Project, a 26-unit townhome development, provides ownership opportunities in a neighborhood with less than 40% ownership in the Logan Community. Over 50% of Lincoln Street homeowners are 33 years old or younger, which is lower than the WeBuild average.
• The Sanctuary, a mixed-use development with 13 loft apartments, office space, and a coffee bar, provides the Gibson Community with a central location for meeting and economic development.
• With over a dozen new single-family homes built and approximately 20 singlefamily homes under development, WeBuild provides low-to-moderate households with the opportunity to own traditional homes and land.
• Other exciting developments and partnerships include the Cottages at Corban, a 10-unit single-family project that tests the City of Concord’s new tiny home and cottage ordinance.
• Several other homes are being built by private developers in zip codes that have traditionally lacked affordability in mixed-income neighborhoods.
