Details:
The City of Greenville is committed to the redevelopment of its neighborhoods. Over the years, a number of neighborhoods have witnessed a decline in population and a deterioration of housing stock. In response, the City has adopted a neighborhood master planning approach for improving neighborhoods, along with an aggressive capital improvement program. The City’s commitment encourages a “live-work” environment, supported by a mix of housing types reflecting a variety of income levels. The City’s Community Development emphasis will remain on providing housing opportunities for low- to moderate-income families.
Residents, property owners, businesses and other stakeholders have come together in several neighborhoods to create and adopt Neighborhood Master Plans. The overarching goal of these plans is to create a vibrant neighborhood encompassing a variety of housing types and incomes, while remaining sensitive to the neighborhood’s identity. The City’s Community Development efforts in redevelopment will reclaim vacant parcels, recycle blighted structures and repair and/or develop infrastructure. In addition, Community Development’s comprehensive neighborhood leadership, economic development, job training and housing counseling programs work in conjunction with redevelopment efforts to ensure residents play an active role in the revitalization of their neighborhood and are better positioned for home ownership.
The Greenville Housing Fund will provide below-market financing for projects funded by this application. While applicants are not required to use the Greenville Housing Fund, projects will be underwritten using the financing terms offered by the Greenville Housing Fund.
