In many counties and municipalities in South Carolina, there is a critical shortage of decent, safe, and affordable residential housing available to low- and moderate-income families. The affordable housing shortage constitutes a danger to the health, safety, and welfare of residents of the state, and is a barrier to sound growth and sustainable economic development for South Carolina counties and municipalities. Affordable housing can include multifamily rental, single-family rental, and single-family homeownership, providing more opportunities to assist families with financial and social sustainability.
Session will discuss:
Key impacts to residential instability and substandard housing
Challenges to affordable housing in South Carolina
Policies, partnerships, and funding needed to improve housing and increase affordable housing stock in the state
Speaker: Bernie Mazyck, South Carolina Association for Community Economic Development (SCACED)
Featuring Special Guest, Senator Kent Williams
South Carolina Senate (District 30 - Dillon, Florence, Horry, Marion, and Marlboro Counties)
Moderated by Nancy Lee, Habitat for Humanity South Carolina
