GREENVILLE, SC – The Greenville Housing Fund announced key targets for making living in Greenville more affordable in 2026.
GHF staff laid out major goals for 2026 while accentuating some of its wins in 2025.
Some major goals for 2026 include: launch the Strategic Planning process for the 2026–2029 cycle, setting a strong foundation for its work in the years ahead; enhancing resident services in meaningful ways that continue to support and uplift those GHF serves; advancing its Homeownership Preservation Program (HOPP) 2.0 as a key initiative to strengthen housing stability for low-income homeowners in Greenville; partnering with Gateway, a local mental health provider, on preserving 17 units of deeply affordable housing serving its clients in the oldest apartment building in the city of Greenville.
One of the major successes for GHF in 2025 was becoming a NeighborWorks America affiliate. NeighborWorks America is a congressionally chartered national nonprofit that works to “deliver practical solutions that expand housing access, build wealth and boost local economies” through a network of over 250 local organizations, “driving change at the local level.” GHF is the only affiliate in the Upstate, and only the second one in South Carolina.
The NeighborWorks affiliation strengthened GHF capacity in a whole variety of ways, enabling them to do more in and for Greenville.
Other 2025 highlights include:
• GHF invested almost $6.8 million that translated into 271 homes for 410 families.
• Gateway at the Green Ribbon Cutting
• Riley at Overbrook Ribbon Cutting
• Southernside East Groundbreaking
• Harmony Ridge received a $76,000 HVAC grant award
• Southernside West (54 units of senior affordable housing, 20%-60% AMI) received the highest LIHTC score for 2025
In addition, GHF team members continued their community outreach by taking part in Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County’s Juneteenth Build.
