This summer, more than 330 community members joined us across the Lowcountry, Midlands, Pee Dee, and Upstate for the South Carolina Housing Listening Sessions.

We are incredibly grateful to every community member who shared their experiences, every elected official and community leader who came ready to listen, and each of our partners who helped make these conversations possible.

From North Charleston to Sumter, Florence to Greenville, South Carolinians came together around the importance of safe, stable, and affordable housing for families and communities across our state.

These conversations are only one part of the work ahead. Stay tuned for an upcoming ICS report highlighting what we heard and what comes next!

Thank you to our partners: SC Roadmap, Affordable Housing Coalition of South Carolina, Habitat for Humanity South Carolina, SC State Housing, Hayse Devereaux, South Carolina Association for Community Economic Development, and Palmetto Community Advisors.

A full report will be released October 2026.
