State of South Carolina Community Development Needs Survey |
Purpose of Survey
For the 2026-2030 five-year Consolidated Plan, the South Carolina Department of Commerce, State CDBG Program, and with its State HUD Program partners, expects to receive funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). State Program partners include the South Carolina State Housing Authority, the Office of Economic Opportunity within the Department of Administration, and the Department of Environmental Services.
The State anticipates receiving funds to support the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDs (HOPWA) programs. These resources will help to address affordable housing, homelessness, special needs populations, and community and economic development priorities.
Program activities must meet at least one of three national objectives outlined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Activities must (1) benefit low-to-moderate income persons/households; (2) prevent or eliminate slums or blight and/or (3) address an emergency need that poses a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.
The survey is divided into 3 sections:
1. Non-attributable demographic information (Responses are completely anonymous.)
2. Community needs
3. Fair housing
It should only take 5-10 minutes of your time and your input is important to us.
