Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County has spent the past 40 years expanding homeownership opportunities in Upstate South Carolina.
The nonprofit organization has launched the 40th Anniversary Community Collection to commemorate this milestone. LaTonya Phillips, CEO and president of Habitat Greenville, said the multifaceted build project represents a strategic expansion of the organization’s service models and a bold commitment to the future of affordable housing.
“Habitat has been a cornerstone of stability for local families, but as we celebrate this legacy, we find ourselves at a critical juncture,” Phillips said. “In a community where collaboration is the fabric of our identity, the rising risk to affordable homeownership has never been more pressing.”
Several new initiatives will be completed as part of the Community Collection, including the construction of the organization’s first duplex at 101 A/B Sturtevant St. Habitat Greenville will also build a four-bedroom home at 600 Pendleton Road. In addition, Habitat Greenville announced a new $400,000 campaign to raise funding for the organization’s future growth and sustainability.
Phillips said the Community Collection is not just a celebration of where we have been, but a blueprint for where we are going. Since 1985, Habitat Greenville has built more than 430 homes and renovated 330 existing homes.
