Press Release

Charleston County’s Department of Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization is now accepting public comments on the County’s draft comprehensive housing plan. The plan can be found at charlestoncounty.org/hof/

The Housing our Future plan is Charleston County’s first comprehensive plan for housing attainability. The plan includes months of research, analysis, and community conversations focused on capacity building, housing creation and preservation, housing stability, and homeownership. It also provides a clear understanding of the needs and challenges facing Charleston County. The plan provides a set of policies, programs, and capacity-building measures designed to help meet housing needs for years to come.

“We are excited for the public to see the draft housing plan,” said Acting Director of Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization Amanda Ramage. “While this is a county-wide strategy and a guide for Charleston County Council, every community in the County has its own unique needs, so we encourage everyone to get involved and provide feedback.”

The Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization Department will also host several community meetings where the public can view the plan and provide comments in person. The deadline to submit comments online is March 1, 2023.
