CommunityWorks Hosts The Upstate Affordable Housing Summit

On August 21, CommunityWorks hosted the Upstate Affordable Housing Summit.

The summit, which took place at Greenville Technical College’s Prisma Health Center for Health & Life Sciences, brought together over 150 housing leaders from across the region for a day of learning, collaboration, and meaningful conversation about the future of affordable housing in our community.

Through expert-led panels, including insights from the Federal Reserve Bank, and conversations spanning housing economics, financing tools, and regional policy strategies, the summit energized participants to take bold steps in addressing the housing crisis facing Upstate communities.
