The South Carolina Housing Finance and Development Authority recently named Homes of Hope as the 2026 Organization of the Year.
Homes of Hope was recognized for its long-term commitment and impact in addressing housing needs. The Greenville-based nonprofit organization builds affordable housing across South Carolina and provides workforce development opportunities for men overcoming addiction.
The award was presented at the South Carolina Affordable Housing Summit held in Columbia in April. Don Oglesby, CEO of Homes of Hope, said they are honored to be recognized by SC Housing and remain committed to building strong foundations for individuals and families through affordable housing and workforce development.
“This recognition speaks to more than a single year. It reflects decades of consistent, meaningful work to address one of our community’s most pressing challenges,” Oglesby said.
Since its establishment in 1998, Homes of Hope has constructed 746 homes and helped 343 men graduate from its workforce development program.
