Should your city spend public money to build more affordable housing?

SEML Development celebrated the grand opening of Eutaw Landing Apartments, a 54-unit affordable housing facility for seniors, on October 30, 2026. The property is fully occupied by residents aged 55 and older and includes one- and two-bedroom units.

Why it matters

The project adds affordable housing for older residents in Fayetteville, supported by city, state and federal financing. SEML Development says it is also developing another 400 apartment homes across the region.

The development's $13.4 million cost was funded in part by $800,000 each from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency and the City of Fayetteville, plus more than $9.4 million in tax credits. Rent levels and eligibility thresholds were not specified in the announcement.

Housing Model

Eutaw Landing is built on the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, which channels private equity into affordable rentals through state housing finance agencies. Combining tax credits with state and city gap funding, as in this project, is the standard structure for developments of this kind.

Fayetteville seniors aged 55 and older may find new affordable one- and two-bedroom options through this development. Those interested should check directly with the property for current availability and eligibility.

The takeaway

Affordable senior housing projects often rely on layered funding from tax credits, state agencies and local governments, so eligible residents should watch for openings at new developments like this one.
