2014 Charleston Housing Blueprint

CTAR, in conjunction with the SC Community Loan Fund, recently released a housing blueprint for the Charleston region. The blueprint compares our region to economic competitors on key housing and quality of life metrics and makes recommendations for our region to increase housing affordability.

Since 2010, the Charleston Regional Development Alliance has published an annual Regional Economic Scorecard of our region’s economic progress compared to six similar metro areas and two leading economies. Overall, the Charleston region is performing well economically, while also undergoing a structural transformation into a more diversified, knowledge-based economy. However, our region consistently ranks last in housing affordability.

We have achieved the economic growth that we want as a region and now the challenge is sustaining that growth. It is our hope that this document serves as a blueprint of actionable items to increase the number of housing units affordable to the region’s growing workforce because Housing Matters.
