BACKGROUND

Charleston County is looking for partners to rehabilitate sixteen residential properties to be utilized as affordable housing. The Charleston Home Program is an opportunity for interested parties to submit site-specific applications to rehabilitate the existing dwellings into livable, affordable housing units. Interested parties may be nonprofit organizations or private entities with experience in the production of affordable housing. Selected recipients will be expected to cover all upfront costs of the project. Upon project completion, the property will be deeded over to the partner organization who will manage the sale, rental, or other use of the property as some form of affordable housing. Revenue from this endeavor will provide a means of reimbursement for all project costs. Any revenue gained outside of the total project cost must then be dedicated by the partner organization to another activity that furthers affordable housing efforts in Charleston County.

The Charleston Home Program Request for Applications (RFA) will be solicited in four phases. Interested parties may submit separate applications for more than one property, but not more than one property will be assigned to each selected applicant. Phases of the Charleston Home Program are listed below:
