Florence County continues to focus on affordable housing and addresses this necessity in the Housing and Priority Investment Elements. Recently we had the opportunity to walk through Florence's newest apartment community for low income Seniors.
These apartments are currently under construction but should be completed by the end of September and available for renting effective October 1st. This community offers 38 units to lower income Seniors. To qualify, you must be at least 62 years old with an income limit of $17,150 for one person and $19,600 for two persons. These duplex apartments consist of one bedroom and one bath. They are fully handicap accessible and energy efficient. For more information, please contact the Senior Citizens Association at 843.669.6761.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) provide grants for those whom fit into the low-income property owner category. They also provide funding for eligible mortagors whom wish to provide cooperative housing for those persons with low to moderate income. More information can be found at the following website: www.educationmoney.com/housing.

The realization is that affordable living affects all ages of home owners. Hopefully there will be more opportunities like this in the near future for Florence County residents looking for a place to call home.
