Villages of Hayti project launches long-awaited transformation of the former Fayette Place site
DURHAM, N.C. — A transformative investment aimed at restoring opportunity in one of Durham’s most historically significant Black neighborhoods is officially moving forward. The Durham Housing Authority (DHA), in partnership with Durham Community Partners, has announced the financial closing of Villages of Hayti, a major affordable housing development planned for the historic Hayti district.
The milestone marks the official launch of redevelopment at the long-vacant Fayette Place site, which has remained unused since the early 2000s. Once complete, Phase 1 will bring 252 fully affordable apartments to the community, representing one of the most significant affordable housing investments in Durham in recent years.
