State Housing Authority Recognizes June as Homeownership Month - 6/6/2007
In observance of June as Homeownership Month, the Board of Commissioners for the South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority recently endorsed a proclamation pledging support and commitment in increasing affordable homeownership opportunities for the citizens of South Carolina.
Homeownership provides the foundation for vital communities, stable neighborhoods, secure family bases, and healthy childhoods. It is an integral ingredient in economic development and community revitalization throughout the state. The Authority has provided more than $2 billion to make homeownership possible for over 36,000 low to low-to-moderate income households since 1979. The program has continued to grow each year and in 2006 the Authority helped over 1,800 South Carolinians purchase a home of their own.
In observance of Homeownership Month, the South Carolina State Housing Authority is working together with other housing professionals to promote quality affordable housing and increased homeownership opportunities for our citizens striving to achieve the American Dream.
The South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority is an agency of state government operating at no expense to the taxpayers of South Carolina.
