Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
As an Urban County, Greenville County qualifies to receive direct Entitlement funding allocations for
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) and Emergency
Solutions Grant (ESG) from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) to address
housing, provide suitable livable condition with various community development activities and
homelessness needs in the unincorporated areas of Greenville County and the participating
municipalities: Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Travelers Rest and Fountain Inn. The proposed HUD 2019
Entitlement allocations for Greenville County on CDBG, HOME and ESG are $2,656,722, $1,114,857 and
$230,839 respectively. This accounts for a total allocation of $4,002,418 to the County for FY 2019.
Additionally, the County has appropriated approximately $600,000 of CDBG Program Income, $800,000
in HOME Program Income and $800,000 in Mortgage Loan Fund (MLF) to address the projects and
programs identified in the 2019 Annual Action Plan. Furthermore, as a result of the 2018 Housing Study
report prepared by CZB, which identified approximately 9,500 affordable housing units needed for the
residents of the County, therefore, the County Administration made available a new Affordable
Housing Fund (AHF) of $1,000,000 for FY 2019 to be used to address the housing need through
creation and preservation of affordable housing. The AHF will be administered by Greenville County
Redevelopment Authority to leverage the HUD Entitlement funds. The strategies and initiatives
identified in the FY 2019 Annual Action Plan housing goal are consistent with recommendations cited in
the 2018 Greenville County Affordable Housing Study report. Furthermore, the FY 2019 AAP also
specifies various strategies to improve quality of life of the residents, such as homeowner rehab
programs, improve substandard infrastructure, address ADA improvements to Public facilities,
assistance to various public service agencies and address homelessness. The Greenville County FY 2019
Annual Action plan represents the fifth year of the Greenville County Consolidated Plan for the 2015-
2019 planning period.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
As the administrator of HUD entitlements for the Greenville County, the Greenville County
Redevelopment Authority (GCRA) expended a total of $ 4,430,648.17 of its CDBG, HOME and ESG funds
to implement fiscal year 2017 programs and projects in the County’s unincorporated areas as well as in
the five participating municipalities: Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Travelers Rest, and Fountain Inn . The
funding expenditure breakdown consists of $ 2,904,403.69 in CDBG; $1,336,416.59 in HOME and
$ 189,827.89 in ESG fund. The FY 2017 Community Development Financial Summary (PR-26)
report indicates that a total 95.97 % of the Greenville County’s CDBG fund was used to directly benefit low and moderate income households in the County for the reporting year, of which 8.40 % of the fund
was used for public service activities and 18.51 % was used on planning and administrative actives. The
County's CDBG expenditure are in in compliance with the statutory requirement for fund.
Additionally, the County’s HOME and ESG funds were used to benefit low and moderate income
households and individuals. Approximately forty-four (47%) of the ESG fund was used to address shelter
and outreach activities and 7.5% was expended on administration. All of the ESG subreipients' funds
were matched at a ratio of 1:1 with Private and Greenville County general fund dollars.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. Introduction
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(l))
GCRA works closely and partners with several non-profits and for profit organizations as well as public
agencies that assist in the implementation of the goals and strategies identified the Consolidated Plan.
This provides opportunity to access resources and leverage funds on projects and programs in the
County. The partners involved are housing providers, homeless service providers, public services
agencies and Subrecipients. GCRA gap funds housing partners’ homeownership and rental housing
projects. The Homeless providers, which are also members of the Continuum of Care, are provided with
ESG funds to address homeless issues, such as outreach, shelter and case management services. The
partners include but are not limited to United Housing Connections, Nehemiah Community
Revitalization Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, Mercy Housing Southeast, Parker Sewer District,
Greenville County Roads and Bridges, Greenville County Planning Department, County Transportation
Commission, SHARE, Greenville County Human Relations Commission, SC Department of health and
Environmental Commission , City of Greenville Saint Francis Hospital, Greenville County Recreation
Department, etc. GCRA shall continue to foster partnership relations with these and other agencies.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The GCRA is a member of and in partnership with the Greenville Continuum of Care members. The
members focus on addressing homelessness in the County, through coordinated support services,
provide shelter and permanent housing opportunities. In response to legislation and regulations put
forth by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), communities across
the country are working toward streamlining access to community resources through a coordinated
entry system. The Upstate CoC member practices the Coordinated Entry System (CES), addressing needs
of families/individuals that are literally homeless. The CES is a one entry process. One entry point allows
for efficient and effective placement of individuals and families as they are entered into the CES. Rather
contacting each agency separately, clients are placed into the CES for services based on the VI-SPDAT
score and level of need. The CoC members work together to assure that services are accessible
Annual Action Plan
2019
10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
and well-targeted to the immediate needs of the client. Ultimately, the goals of a coordinated entry are
to simplify access to services by clients, track system outcomes to inform and enhance decision-making,
and improve overall system efficiency. In addition to the CES, the CoC members also meet monthly to
discuss the progress of their individual programs and as well how to collaboratively address the
homeless issues and concerns. Some of the CoC members address chronically homeless clients, families
with children, veterans and unaccompanied youth. The members also reach out to outside partners to
further assist to address specific homeless needs. Other public agencies working closely with CoC
members through coordinated efforts and resources include public agencies, such as staff from GCRA,
Greenville County offices, City of Greenville, The Greenville Housing Authority etc. also attend the
monthly CoC meetings. Weekly the CoC facilitates the Housing Determination Committee which
oversees providing resources directly to homeless individuals that have been assessed for
vulnerability. The CoC adopted assessment tool is the VI-SPDAT stands for Vulnerability Index – Service
Prioritization Decision Assistance Prescreen Tool. The VI-SPDAT is the prioritization assessment
instrument used by all participating programs for people who enter the homelessness system. It helps
identify who should be recommended for each housing and support intervention, moving the discussion
from simply who is eligible for a service intervention to who is eligible and in greatest need of that
intervention. All COC members use this system for Rehousing of homeless clients
.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
Annually the County’s Emergency Solutions Grant fund is made available via a proposal format to the
agencies of all CoC members in the County and as well as any nonprofit agencies with focus on
addressing homeless needs. The Greenville County Redevelopment Authority publishes funding
availability notice on the local newspapers, the County and GCRA websites. Training session regarding
the ESG program and eligibility activities are presented to the public. Applicants are given 2 months
from the date of notice of funding availability to complete and submit their applications with
appropriate backup required information. The funds are provided to successful homeless
providers/applicants and are used for ESG eligibility items, addressing outreach, shelter and transitional
housing needs. All approved Subrecipient funds are required to show Matching funds for their
programs. Funds are made also available for case management services and financial assistance to
address homeless prevention and rapid rehousing for individuals or households, that are at risk of
homelessness or literally homeless. All of Greenville County’s CoC members are required to enter clients’ data in the County’s HMIS. The HMIS is administered and coordinated by the United Housing Connections which serves as the COC. Funds for HMIS licenses are made available through the ESG fund
to agencies funded by the County. The County allocated 60 percent of its ESG funds for Shelter and
outreach activities. A total 7.5 percent of fund was allocated for administration of the program, the
Annual Action Plan
2019
11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
remainder of the fund is allocated for Prevention, Rapid Rehousing and HMIS activities. Allocation for
direct financial assistance for Prevention and Rapid Rehousing is at a ratio of 2:1 respectively, since the
CoC has supplementary Rapid Rehousing funding as an additional source because Rapid Rehousing funds
are available via the COC’s allocation.
In response to legislation and regulations put forth by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), GCRA will continue to partner with the CoC- Housing Determination
Committee for Rapid Rehousing , through the Coordinated Entry System to assist chronically homeless
individuals and families with financial assistance with deposits, rents, and utility payments to
immediately provide housing to homeless persons without delay, thereby, shortening the period of
homelessness. GCRA's priority listing are ranked as follows: (1) Families with Children (inclusive of
veterans with children) (2) Veteran individuals (3) others. As well as coordination of services between all
agencies to assist chronically homeless individuals.
The Continuum of Care, of which all sub recipients are members, have programs addressing these needs
for homeless individuals and households. Through the Coordinated Entry system, all Rapid Rehousing
clients are referred to GCRA for rental assistance. Intake process is conducted via ESG subrecipient
Greenville County Human Relations Commission’s (GCHRC) case manager. United Housing Connections –
acting lead agency for region CoC is currently preparing a gaps analysis and system performance report
that will be released Fall 2019. This report will further inform ESG funded agencies and community
stakeholders on deficiencies in the system across emergency shelters, safe havens, PSH, transitional
housing. In collaboration with the CoC, GCRA anticipates recommendations that will be useful in
prioritizing areas of funding to address community needs. The COC also conducts the pointin time count
which counts all sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons; participates in the consolidated plan;
consults with ESG subrecipients reporting evaluation performance, coordinated assesment, written
standards, ana all HMIS data.

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal-setting
The 2019 Annual Action Plan (AAP) builds on the citizens’ participation process accomplished during the planning process for the Greenville County 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. Prior to selection of FY 2019 housing and community development projects, a series of public hearings
and meetings were held to obtain citizen views and recommendations regarding housing and community development priorities, program
performance and proposed activities. GCRA staff met with representatives of the participating municipalities, community-based organizations
and housing-related agencies to encourage citizen participation in a series of countywide public forums. The meetings were also used to inform
the public about the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs, types of projects eligible for funding, project selection process and take proposal
recommendations related to County’s housing and community development needs. The goals and objectives identified in the 2019 AAP reflect
the discourse and proposals developed during the citizen participation process and on-going projects from previous fiscal years. Greenville
County actively sought citizen involvement during the preparation and review of the 2019 Annual Action Plan through the activities listed below.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The Greenville County’s Affordable Housing Fund will help to gap fund and will leverage the County’s Entitlement fund in addressing affordable
housing needs in the County. In proposed FY 2019 AAP budget has an additional $1,000,000 from the AHF administered by GCRA to help gap
fund affordable housing in the county. A total $641,093 of AHF is being used to fund a total of 80 affordable housing units to be developed by
GCRA and housing partners, a total of $15,896,817 of other funding sources are used, accounting for a leveraging ratio 1:24. In addition, the
HOME funds of a total of $402,229 provided to housing partners will generate approximately total 32 affordable housing units using a
$2,745,933. The CDBG fund proposed for infrastructure improvement projects proposed for Middleton, Maloy and Sterling Streets in the
Sterling Community will be matched 50% (approximately $800,000) using the County’s Transportation Fund. The completion of the remediation
of the brownfield site in Poe Mill site, still in progress will also be leveraged with the Appalachian Regional Council grant fund of
$100,000. Approximately $750,000 of HOME match is proposed for the HOME funded projects. Furthermore, approximately $229,906 will be
used as match fund to the ESG funding from all Subrecipients, this consists of 1:1 match ratio requirement for the program, sources comprise of

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The Poe Mill site, which is approximately 13 acres brownfield site, is proposed to be developed as a
regional park land, consisting of both active and passive activities (Skating area, Outdoor performance
plaza, Greenfield/playground, walking trails, picnic area, etc.). This site was acquired using NSP fund in
2010. The U.S Department of Environmental Protection Agency - Brownfield grants were used for clean-
up and assessment of the site. GCRA is currenetly in its final phase of the remediation actions (clean dirt
as additional capsulation). Additional grant fund of $100,000 was obtained from the Appalachian
Regional Commission to leverage the CDBG fund towards the completion of the final remediation
process. A redevelopment (conceptual) park plan has been prepared and it’s also currently in the engineering design/review stage for grading and storm water management approval process. GCRA and
GC Recreation department shall partner to ensure successful completion of the proposed parksite. GCRA
and Greenville County shall seek for public and private fund to improve the site.
Furthermore, GCRA acquired a 2.5 acre site in the City of Mauldin to develop mixed income housing
development, consisting of 18 units (9 duplexes). The infrastructure improvement consisting of storm
water (detention pond, Utilities, parking spaces and road) has been completed. The housing
construction is in progress.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The GCRA, through a Cooperative Agreement between the County of Greenville and Cities of Fountain
Inn, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville and Travelers rest is responsible for the administration of the County's
Entitlement funds. As a result of the cooperation, the geographic jurisdictional area involves all
unincorporated county areas of the County and the five cooperative municipalities (Fountain Inn, Greer,
Mauldin, Travelers Rest, and Simpsonville). The funding distribution, historically, has been one-third
each provided to the five participating municipalities (distributed to the municipalities based on census
data - population, poverty rate, housing condition, per capita income, etc. criteria); Brutontown-a
Revitalization Target Area; and the unincorporated communities, namely, the County’s special emphasis areas/redevelopment areas. The Special emphasis/redevelopment areas have a concentration of low
and moderate income households and minorities. This process allows the County to balance the needs
of the competing areas, leverage resources on projects and programs, as well as, direct assistance in
areas with significantly high concentrations of minority and low-moderate income populations. The
majority of the special emphasis neighborhoods in the County have completed neighborhood
masterplans/strategic plans. This further helps to guide allocation of resources to address the
implementation of the master/strategic plans.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The Greenville County will allocate its CDBG funds to those geographic areas whose population is over
51% low- and moderate-income. All of the County’s identified Redevelopment areas meet this criterion. The County will continue to ensure that at least 70% of all the CDBG funds are budgeted for activities
that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The municipal allocation of funds is also
based on total population, poverty rate, housing condition and percentage of low and moderate income
families and communities. The public services activities are for social service organizations whose
clientele are low income or in certain cases, a limited type of clientele with a presumed low- and
moderate-income status.
The public facilities activities are either located in a low- and moderate-income census tract/block group
or have a low- and moderate-income service area benefit or clientele over 51% low- and moderate-

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Greenville Housing Authority has an essential mission to provide affordable housing and workforce
housing assistance for veterans as well as low to moderate income families. TGHA is the catalyst for
affordable housing and workforce housing in Greenville, South Carolina.
Since 1938, TGHA has provided housing assistance in the City of Greenville, South Carolina, utilizing
traditional programs: Public Housing and HCV (Housing Choice Vouchers), previously Section 8 Housing
Choice Vouchers, funded by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In
recent years, TGHA has updated its housing portfolio with modern mixed-income developments and
continues to search for ways to expand affordable housing throughout the City of Greenville and
Greenville County.
TGHA is now a real estate development entity with a social mission of preserving and creating
communities of opportunity. As our community continues to grow and change, TGHA continues to
develop new strategies to proactively meet the challenges of Building Communities of Opportunity for
the residents of Greenville, South Carolina.
MISSION: “To provide quality affordable housing that serves as a foundation to improve lives.”
VISION: “Vibrant mixed-income communities of opportunity that maximize individual potential.”
TGHA’s currently serves as a member of the several Local, State, Regional and National Community trade, civic and community organizations. These organizations afford TGHA the opportunity to advocate
for preservation and new construction affordable units.
Housing Choice Vouchers total is 2941. However, the housing Choice Vocher (HCV) waiting list as of
December 31, 2017 shows approximately 4,452 households waiting for affordable housing, of which 73
percent of the total households are extremely low income (earning <30% AMI); 19 percent are very low
income (earning >30% - < 50% of the AMI); 5 percent are of low income (> 50% of the AMI) and 3
percent are other.
It is noteworthy that 80 percent of the households are black, 13 percent are white and 8 percent are of
other race. Sixty-six (66%) percent of households on waiting list are families with children, 5 percent are
elderly and 29 percent are of other household configuration. Furthermore, GHA has a total of 139 HUD
VASH vouchers. This program provided rental assistance vouchers specifically targeted towards
homeless veterans. GHA partners with the United Housing Connections and activeley participates in the
case management coordinated services with UHC to provide housing for homeless families.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
FAMILY SELF-SUFFICIENCY (FSS) PROGRAM: The FSS Program is a component of the Public Housing and
Housing Choice Voucher Programs which provides supportive services and financial incentives for
participants to become economically and socially self-sufficient. This is a voluntary program. TGHA has
no mandatory FSS Program slots. The purpose of the TGHA Family Self-sufficiency Program is to
promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of PH and HCV Housing Assistance
with public and private resources and to enable families eligible to receive assistance under these
programs to achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. The objective of the FSS Program is
to reduce the dependency of low-income families on welfare assistance and on Housing Assistance.
Under the FSS Program, families are provided opportunities for education, job training, counseling and
other forms of social service assistance while receiving PH and HCV Housing Assistance so that they may
obtain the education, employment, business and social skills necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
PLANS IN PROCESS:
§ Conversion – The Rental Assistance Demonstration program was designed by HUD to assist in
addressing the capital needs of public housing thereby providing Housing Authorities with access to
private sources of capital to repair and preserve its affordable housing assets. TGHA has completed all
required HUD milestones to move forward with RAD conversion. Upon final HUD approval the RAD
conversion will be complete at the following properties: Evergreen Place - Mixed Finance -75 Units -
Convert as is 2019; Forest View - Mix Finance - 29 Units - Convert as is 2019; Nicol Town Green - Mixed
Finance - 38 Units - Convert as is 2019; Clark Ridge Apartments - Mixed Finance - 27 Units -Convert as is
2019.
TGHA continues with its aggressive development plan which will result in the preservation of exiting
affordable housing resources and construction of new affordable housing resources. In addition, the
Housing Authority continues to closely monitor Housing Choice Voucher funding to maximize utilization,
assisting the greatest number of households possible with available resources. § TGHA efforts include
disposing of various properties through transfer to other entities specific for the purpose of maintaining
affordable housing in Greenville.

RESIDENT STRATEGIES: Assist residents in gaining access to the following opportunities: Education,
Employment and Homeownership.
1. Maintain Arcadia and other identified communities as stabilized homeownership communities.
2. Expand homeownership opportunities. The TGHA is currently conducting a Homeownership
Educational event in June 2019.
3. Expand homeownership opportunities through the Section 8 Homeownership Program.
4. Partner in an active advocacy role with local schools and colleges to facilitate access to educational
opportunities for tenants.

employment, and contract opportunities are made available to low- or very-low income residents in
connection with projects and activities in the neighborhoods where HUD funds are expended.
6. Enhance safety and security efforts for TGHA residents and the surrounding neighborhoods through
active participation with the Crime Free Multi-Family Housing Program.
RESULTS OF SECTION 8 HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM:
§ There are currently ten (10) active participants in the HCV Homeownership Program.
§ The HCV Program Administrative Plan has been revised to continue expanding homeownership
opportunities for families with vouchers.
STABILIZE HOMEOWNERSHIP COMMUNITIES:
TGHA continues to ensure wherever possible that homeownership communities remain stabilized
through the following efforts:
§ Monitor the Arcadia Homeownership units to immediately identify those units that may be facing
foreclosure. TGHA may purchase when financially able to do so.
§ Ensure that rental units in the Arcadia community remain esthetically appealing.

permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
In response to legislation and regulations put forth by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), GCRA will continue to partner with the CoC- Housing Determination
Committee for Rapid Rehousing , through the Coordinated Entry System to assist chronically homeless
individuals and families with financial assistance with deposits, rents, and utility payments to
immediately provide housing to homeless persons without delay, thereby, shortening the period of
homelessness. GCRA's priority listing are ranked as follows: (1) Families with Children (inclusive of
veterans with children) (2) Veteran individuals (3) others. As well as coordination of services between all
agencies to assist chronically homeless individuals
GCRA works with TGHA clients with homeless or in jeopardy of becoming homeless through the
homeless prevention program with approved housing vouchers to assist with only deposits of their
units, while TGHA can assist with the monthly rent. Clients not able to be immediately housed
or assisted via the COC VI-SPDAT process (due to low scoring etc) but needing immediate housing are
able to be rehoused via Homelessness prevention program through GCRA ESG funds. The homeless
prevention program serves clients who are at risk and/or imminent risk of homelessness for housing
relocation and stabilization services and/or short and/or medium-term rental assistance necessary to
prevent the individual or family from moving into an emergency shelter or another place described in
paragraph (1) of the “homeless” HUD definition in § 576.2.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Greenville County Human Relations Commission (GCHRC) works to address barriers to affordable
housing by providing financial education, homeownership and housing counseling, and fair housing
programs.
Financial Education: Last year, GCHRC led 36 financial literacy classes and served 873 clients. Based on
follow up calls, 663 clients (76% of clients served) reached their short-term financial goals within six
months following their participation in a class or counseling. 410 clients (47% of clients served) were
able to start, maintain, or increase their savings within six months; 489 clients (56% of clients served)
reduced their debt, and 436 clients (50% of clients served) increased their credit score within six
months. To expand on current financial counseling capacity, in February 2019, GCHRC opened seven
Financial Empowerment Centers across Greenville County to provide free, one-on-one financial
counseling by highly trained, professional financial counselors for low-to-moderate income citizens. 231
clients have received free financial counseling at these centers since February.
Homeownership/Housing Counseling: GCHRC provides numerous homebuyer education and
homeownership education programs. GCHRC partners with the City of Greenville to implement the Key
Homeownership Program, which provides individual counseling and financial education to prepare low-
to-moderate income citizens for homeownership. GCHRC also partners with Greenville Housing
Authority to provide the Homebuyer 101 program. Further, over the last 18 months, GCHRC has
conducted over 40 free, community workshops on foreclosure prevention tactics, including financial
management, critical homeownership topics, and fair housing. These workshops were attended by more
than 400 residents.
In addition to these education programs, GCHRC’s HUD-certified housing counselors provide free
counseling, mediation and assistance on a variety of housing issues, including foreclosure prevention,
loan modifications, landlord/tenant disputes, and fair housing complaints. From October 1, 2017
through March 31, 2019, GCHRC helped protect 157 clients from mortgage default and assisted 64
clients with loss mitigation payment plans and/or loan modification. Further, GCHRC employs one of
only two AARP/HUD-approved reverse mortgage/HECM counseling providers in South Carolina. In 2017,
he assisted 118 clients with receiving reverse mortgages.
Fair Housing: As the HUD-designated Housing Counseling Agency and Fair Housing Agency in Greenville
County, GCHRC counseled over 100 individuals last year who had fair housing complaints. GCHRC also
conducted fair housing training at 12 homebuyer workshops, hosted more than a dozen free community
workshops on fair housing, and organized a Fair Housing Month training event that was attended by

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
over 100 realtors, mortgage lenders, developers, and other professionals in the housing industry.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The Greenville County Affordable Housing Study, funded through a partnership between GCRA,
Greenville County, and Hollingsworth Foundation, found that approximately 45,000 households in the
County have income of less than $25,000 per year and 34,502 households earn less than $20,000 per
year. These target population experience an extremely high cost burden on housing and in the future
will find it hard pressed to find affordable, safe and decent rental units. The study recommended the
following goals: (1) Preservation and Improvement of existing housing stocks. (2) Helping qualified low
and moderate income working households employed in Greenville County become home owners in the
County. (3) Add to supply of affordable rental housing through new rental housing development.
The following barriers are identified:
• Cost burden on affordable housing development relating to impact fees assessed on projects.
• Lack of suitable or non-existence of infrastructure to support affordable housing development.
• Large lot zoning requirements in urban areas with historically small lot sizes.
• High cost of property and land:
• Relax zoning requirement to allow for smaller lots in LMA neighborhoods for affordable housing
development.
• The County to relax zoning to allow for attached housing on smaller lots for homeownership
units.
• Excessive frontage and setback requirements in urban areas with historically small lot sizes.
• Lack of funding sources to help with the development of affordable housing units. Inability to
compete with investors on over-priced property costs. This concern continues to increase, as
land & property cost have substantially increased.
• High cost of utility connections and permit fees.
• Continue to work with County Council and the Planning Department to establish overlay districts
that encourage investment and relax non-essential zoning and subdivision requirements that
impede affordable housing development.
• Continue to work with the Planning Department to encourage community cohesion and
affordable housing of new housing developments in special emphasis neighborhoods
• Continue to coordinate and work with public utility agencies to reduce infrastructure

improvement costs related to affordable housing development.
• County to assist with infrastructure improvement for affordable housing developments.
• Administer the Affordable Housing Fund to support the development of affordable housing or
acquisition of properties to address barriers to affordable housing reported in the Housing Study
• Continue to work with public utility agencies to waive impact fees for affordable
housing.Continue to work with wastewater treatment utility to receive new account fee
vouchers for affordable housing projects.
• Continue to find alternative funding sources to help gap fund affordable housing projects and
substantial supplement the entitlement funds in the County
• Partner and seek funding from several large companies (Manufacturing, Hospitals, Financial
Institutions, Schools, Corporate offices etc. in Greenville) to investment and support programs
that will promote affordable or workforce housing for their employees.
Discussion:
The GCRA administers an emergency rehab program that provides grant funds to seniors and persons
living with disabilities. This program provides up to $10,000 to address code issues and/or improve
handicap accessibility allowing residents to age in place. This program particularly assist our clients that
are below 30 percent of AMI and on fixed and limited income to address these code issues and help
them to remain in their homes. GCRA will implement an investor rehabilitation program to provide
funding for landlords to repair rental units and keep them affordable.
The GCRA partners with the Continuum of Care agencies to address homelessness in the County. The
ESG fund is used to help families at risk of homeless or literally homeless with permanent housing by
providing deposits to their rentals, pay off delinquent or outstanding utility bills that would prevent
families from obtaining future housing and pay their rents. Some of the measures are identified in the
Homeless White paper prepared in March 2015 are being implemented via a coordination through a
coalition of community stakeholders. Individuals or families assisted are very low income families (30%
or below of AMI).
Additionally, addressing barriers to affordable housing must continue to be a comprehensive approach
and commitment from public officials, private donors, and the public and as well coordinated efforts of
various county and city agencies. Education on affordable housing needs and gentrification should
continue to be discussed and addressed. Providing opportunities such as donated
properties/developable lands with improved infrastructure are extremely helpful to the attainment of
affordable housing. Private foundations/donors providing grant funds towards affordable housing
development also helps to reduce the burden/dependency on Federal funds.
As a result of the Housing study Greenville County committed to providing five million dollars over a
period of five years to address the deficit of affordable housing units. GCRA manages the Greenville
County Affordable Housing Trust Fund. For the coming year GCRA has appropriated over six hundred
thousand dollars to help fund 80 housing units in Greenville County. These projects will take place

throughout the County and will be a mixture of rental and homeownership units. Mercy Housing
Southeast is building 46 affordable apartments in Mauldin targeting 31-60% area median income.
Greenville County is updating its comprehensive plan and seeks to have a more holistic and current
understanding of affordable housing. This process takes an in depth look at addressing housing cost
concerns, such as unit availability, transportation options, proximity to jobs. The county’s zoning ordinance will be updated after the Comprehensive Plan is completed. Part of the zoning update is for
more housing types near to services, jobs and transit. Having more housing options and increasing
density in certain locations will provide for more rental and ownership opportunities. The county is also
strategizing how to incorporate more infill housing developments.

Greer, Needmore housing in Greer, rental and homeownership development in Slater, and in
other scattered sites in the County providing for both rental and homeownership affordable
units.
• GCRA will continue to administer the Greenville County Affordable Housing Fund, which
resulted from the Greenville County Affordable Housing Study. Greenville County has dedicated
five million dollars over a period of five years to address affordable housing. In FY 2019 GCRA
dedicated gap funds to help with eighty affordable housing units across the county. GCRA will
continue to partner with Habitat for Humanity on their homeownership units throughout the
County. Habitat for Humanity is working with the City of Simpsonville to develop 11
homeownership units in the Woodside community. GCRA will assist with infrastructure
improvement to the project and provide gap funding to the housing
development. Furthermore, continue to provide CHDO funds to Habitat for Humanity for their
CHDO projects.
• GCRA will continue to provide below market rate end mortgages to First Time Home buyers.
• GCRA working in partnership with Community Works Carolina will continue to provide up to
$5,000 towards down payment/closing cost assistance to First Time Homebuyers with the
purchase of their homes.
• GCRA’s repair programs for seniors and persons living with disabilities provides up to $10,000
forgivable over five years of the loan period. The assistance is provided towards the repair of
their homes, thereby maintaining existing stock and keeping their homes affordable.
• Implement an investor rehabilitation program to provide funding for landlords to repair rental
units and keep them affordable.Greenville County will be updating its zoning ordinance and
plans to increase areas that can include a more diverse array of housing types, like duplexes to
quad-plex, increasing density, and promoting infill.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
• Continue to test (for presence of lead-based paint) all units older than 1978 proposed for
rehabilitation under the Owner-Occupied Rehab and Rehabilitation-Affordable Resale programs

that exceed $5,000. All units less than $5,000 will be repaired using safe work practices. Lead-
based paint testing is not done under the Emergency Rehab program except for roof repairs.
The GCRA will continue to inform residents or potential residents of any affected homes of
known or potential hazards related to lead-based paint that may affect units they use or occupy
• Policy and procedures are documented in GCRA’s General construction specifications, operating guidelines and contract documents between homeowners and contractors. The actions above
help identify and mitigate the effects of lead based paint hazards in pre 1978 housing stock.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
• Continue to partner with Greenville County Human Relations for their First Time Homebuyer
training session, to ensure proper understanding of the home buying process.
• Continue to provide homeownership down-payment assistance program to low-income
buyers. The homeownership assistance program off-sets down-payment and closing fees that
would otherwise make homeownership and wealth via assets unattainable for low-income
buyers.
• Continue to assist seniors and families living with disabilities with forgivable loans to repair their
homes.
• Continue to offer home rehabilitation program to homeowners
• Continue to assist household/individuals facing eviction rental assistance to prevent
homelessness.

housing activities and case management services to assist and empower clients.
• Continue to partner with other agencies to assist with job training opportunities such as
Goodwill, Urban League, SC Works, Greenville Tech College, etc.
• GCRA is partnering with Greenville County Human Relations Commission to support seven
Financial Empowerment Centers to serve Greenville County. This national, evidence-based
program model provides free, professional financial counseling to low-income citizens to
address four key areas of financial stability: credit, debt, savings, and banking. The program
works to integrate counseling into other social services, including housing and foreclosure
prevention, workforce development, prisoner reentry, and benefits access. Since launching in

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The Greenville County Redevelopment Authority (GCRA) is the lead agency, responsible for the
preparation and implementation of the Consolidated and Annual Action Plan. The Greenville County
Redevelopment Authority is governed by a twelve member board, representing each of the County
Districts and appointed by the County Council. GCRA administers the County’s CDBG, HOME and ESG programs as well as the Greenville County Affordable Housing Fund. GCRA also works closely and
provides technical assistance to the five cooperating municipalities participating in the Greenville County
urban county program. GCRA partners with various development partners (non-profit and for profit
agencies) and as well as other public agencies, leveraging funds and resources to successfully accomplish
the Consolidated and Annual Action. GCRA partners with the CoC group and the Greenville Homless
Alliance to address homelessness in the County and currently working with the Greenville Housing
Authority with the Section 8 housing opportunities and inspections of the units.
GCRA continues to recommend housing and infrastructure improvement projects and activities, seek
funding from other public agencies to leverage resources and accomplish the goals and objectives for
the County Council. GCRA has leveraged CDBG funding to provide a match the Greenville
County Legislative Delegation Transportation Committee in order to improve streets and sidewalks in
the Sterling Community, on of GCRA's special emphasis neighborhoods.
Greenville County, in cooperation with the City of Greenville, and the Housing Authorities of the Cities of
Greenville & Greer, is preparing its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) to identify any
existing fair housing issues such as patterns of integration and segregation; racially or ethically
concentrated areas of poverty; disparities in access to opportunities; and disproportionate housing
needs. The report will be crafted through research as well as public and stakeholder input, gathered
through surveys and meetings.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
GCRA staff coordinates resources and functions with other County agencies to ensure correlation of
resources to the communities served. The Greenville County Planning Department administers the
County’s zoning and subdivision regulations, and is responsible for comprehensive and specialized
planning efforts, including the County General Development Plan. The Planning Department Commission
staff also administers zoning ordinances and prepares plans for the Cities of Greenville, Fountain Inn,
Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville and Travelers Rest, including elements related to land use and housing.
The County Priority Investment Area (PIA) consists of majority of the County’s Redevelopment Area. The PIA promotes and encourages coordination of public services and resources. Additionally, the

projects, programs and or summer programs.
Continue to provide funding to Public Service Agencies order to implement their programs serving
seniors, veterans, low and moderate income households and individuals, providing Summer Camps,
After School activities, Prescriptions, Food and Shelter to the public.
Discussion:
Since the completion of the Affordable Housing Study for Greenville County, there is a renewed interest
by all parties (Public & Private agencies) to coordinate efforts to address the lack of sufficient affordable
housing in the community and need for additional infrastructure improvements to support affordable
housing developments. Greenville County created the Greenville County Affordable Housing Fund with
an initial funding of $1,000,000 and has designated GCRA as the administrator of the fund to address the
deficit of affordable housing in the county. GCRA has appropriated over six hundred thousand dollars of
this fund to help fund the development of 80 units throughout the county.
Greenville County is in the process of creating a new Comprehensive master plan, with this initiative
comes an opportunity to address specific elements such as Landuse, Housing, Circulation, Utilities, and
Economic Development that will help address future improvement. The update will take an in depth
look at affordable housing, addressing housing cost concerns such as unit availability, transportation

options, proximity of housing to jobs. The County’s goals for updated zoning include, allowing for more housing types near to services, jobs and transit. Having more housing options and increasing density in
certain locations will provide for more rental and ownership opportunities. The county is also
strategizing how to incorporate more infill housing developments. There are considerations to infill,
such as ensuring the infrastructure supports the development and working with providers to develop
long-term service and maintenance in order to provide for areas with limited capacity.

projects. Furthermore, Habitat for Humanity obtains private donations and sweat equity to develop
affordable housing to match both their CHDO funded projects and their other affordable housing
development projects. Both Greer Community Outreach Center and Nehemiah Community
Revitalization Corporation are leveraging their HOME funding with loans from private banks to
provide affordable rental and homeownership units in Greer, SC. In addition, GCRA obtained a
construction loan for approximately $1.9 million dollar from County Bank to leverage the HOME
fund for the construction of the 18-unit affordable housing units for the Miller Place project in the
City of Mauldin. Furthermore, the Greenville County Administration created a new Affordable
Housing Fund and set aside $1,000,000 to be used for this Fiscal Year. A total of 80 new units will be
generated using this fund as an additional investment to create affordable housing in the County.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used
for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
GCRA uses only RECAPTURE provisions and Not RESALE for homebuyer activities. For GCRA’s HOME Assisted homebuyer program, the period of affordability is based on the direct HOME subsidy
provided to the homebuyer that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the unit. Any HOME program
income used to provide direct assistance to the homebuyer is included to determine the period of
affordability. The direct subsidy includes downpayment, closing costs, interest subsidies or other
HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer. Additionally the direct subsidies also include
any assistance that reduces the purchase price from fair market value to an affordable price. The
following is the required minimum affordability periods.
HOME Investment Period of Affordability
Less than $15,000 5 years
$15,000 to $40,000 10 years
Greater than $40,000 15 years
The property purchased must be occupied as a principal residence for the required affordability
period. The HOME assisted homebuyer is permitted to sell their unit at any time during the period of
affordability to any willing buyer and at any price the market will bear. The recaptured amount of
the direct HOME subsidy is reduced on a pro-rata basis for the time the homebuyer has owned and
occupied the housing, measured against the required affordability period. A clear detailed written
subsidy agreement and or mortgage note with deed restriction between GCRA and the homebuyer
is recorded. This ensures that all parties are aware of the specific HOME requirements applicable to
the unit (affordability period, principal residency requirement, terms and conditions of the

recapture provision) and serve as enforcement mechanism to recapture the direct subsidy to
the HOME-assisted homebuyer if the HOME assisted property is transferred.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired
with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
1. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units
acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: GCRA uses RECAPTURE
provision and not RESALE to ensure affordability of units acquired with HOME funds. The period
of affordability is based on the direct HOME subsidy provided to the homebuyer that enabled
the homebuyer to purchase the unit. Any HOME program income used to provide direct
assistance to the homebuyer is included to determine the period of affordability. The direct
subsidy includes downpayment, closing costs, interest subsidies or other HOME assistance
provided directly to the homebuyer. Additionally the direct subsidies also include any assistance
that reduces the purchase price from fair market value to an affordable price.
The following is the required minimum affordability periods.
HOME Investment Period of Affordability Less than $15,000 is 5 years,
$15,000 to $40,000 is 10 years, Greater than $40,000 is 15 years.
If the other party is GCRA’s partner or entity, such as a Housing partner, CHDO/Subrecipient,
and has been provided with HOME funds to acquire, develop and sell affordable housing, a clear
detailed HOME written agreement and mortgage note with deed restriction between GCRA and
its Housing Partner, containing the requirements stated at 92.504 (c)(5) of the HOME rule must
be recorded. Subsequently, if a HOME assisted unit is sold to an eligible homebuyer by GCRA’s partner, GCRA must be identified as a party to the executed and recorded subsidy
agreement/mortgage note with deed restriction between the GCRA’s partner and the Homebuyer. The period of affordability is based on the direct HOME subsidy provided to the
homebuyer that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the unit. This ensures that all parties are
aware of the specific HOME requirements applicable to the unit (affordability period, principal
residency requirement, terms and conditions of the recapture provision) and serve as
enforcement mechanism to recapture the direct subsidy from the HOME-assisted homebuyer if
the HOME assisted property is transferred. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary sale during
the time of affordability, GCRA will recapture the amount of the direct HOME subsidy in a
reduced pro-rata basis for the time the homebuyer has owned and occupied the housing,
measured against the required affordability period.

Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
GCRA uses the ESG and HEARTH definition of homelessness to assist clients and allocate funds to
Subrecipients. GCRA’s priority for selecting clients for the Housing Prevention and Rapid Rehousing are based on the following selection priorities (1) families with Children, (2) Veterans (3) Individuals.
Rapid Rehousing clients are only served through the Coordinated Entry System which includes
referrals from the CoC Housing Determination meetings. GCRA ESG Policy guideline is attached.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that
meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
The Greenville County CoC members have a coordinated approach as a whole. The COC meets
monthly to share and discuss issues and programs, addressing homelessness. GCRA staff attends the
monthly meetings and serves on the HMIS committee. GCRA is also a part of the COC weekly
Housing determination meeting hosted by the local COC Chapter that consists of various local
housing partners and shelter providers to determine placement for most vulnerable clients to
ensure that people with the most severe services needs and levels of vulnerability are prioritized for
housing and assistance using the coordinated entry system.
The CoC adopted assessment tool is the VI-SPDAT stands for Vulnerability Index – Service
Prioritization Decision Assistance Prescreen Tool. The Vulnerability Index and Service Prioritization
Decision Assessment Tool (VI-SPDAT) is the prioritization assessment instrument used by all
participating programs for people who enter the homelessness system. It helps identify who should
be recommended for each housing and support intervention, moving the discussion from simply
who is eligible for a service intervention to who is eligible and in greatest need of that intervention.
All COC members use this system for Rehousing of homeless clients.
This system streamlines review process and entries through one entry point which allows for
efficient and effective placement of individuals and families as they are entered into the CES. Rather
contacting each agency separately, clients are managed through CES for services based on the VI-
SPDAT score and level of need.

gain clients for GCRA Rapid Rehousing Program. GCRA coordinates with the Greenville Housing
Authority to assist clients with approved housing vouchers in need of rental deposits and or utility
deposits, in order to achieve permanent housing through GHA’s section 8 program. GCRA assists these clients with the required deposits for homeless prevention, while TGHA provides rental
subsidies to the families or individuals.
GCRA staff and or its Rapid Rehousing/ Homelessness Prevention subrecipient case manager from
Greenville County Human Relation Commission (GCHRC) acts as an access point for the coordinated
entry system by engaging in outreach through site visits at various local agencies, community
centers, and churches to directly inform potential clients and community stakeholders of GCRA’S ESG programs and other COC member programs to assist the homeless population. GCRA staff also
contributes to ongoing planning and stakeholder consultations by participating in community
meetings such as the Upstate Continuum of Care Greenville Laurens chapter and Greenville
Homeless Alliance and focus groups and forums that leverage local attributes and capacity.
GCRA staff and or its Rapid Rehousing/ Homelessness Prevention subrecipient case manager from
GCHRC Integrate youth into the coordinated entry process by working with the local public school
district homeless education liaison. GCRA also works to identify veterans in need by working directly
with Upstate Warriors Solution. GCRA has implemented several strategies to work alongside other
community stakeholders to address the needs to the homeless population.
3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to
private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).
The selection of projects and programs for the fiscal year to be conducted by ESG Sub-recipients are
selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The RFP's were announced and advertised in
the early part of January 2019. Training sessions are conducted by program staff. Proposals for
programs and projects from the public/Subrecipients were on February 8, 2019. All proposals are
reviewed, ranked and recommendations made to the Administrative Committee and respective
municipalities for approval. The GCRA Board makes the final approval for County Council for
adoption. Public Hearings on the funds, Programs and projects were conducted throughout the
County/Cities between the months of February and March of the year. ESG funds for shelter
outreach activities account for 60 percent of the estimated total allocation. The Prevention
allocation is approximately twice the amount for Rapid Rehousing, since additional source for Rapid
Rehousing fund is via the COC’s allocation.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR
576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with
homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions

regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The local CoC members are extremely active coalition and make great effort to meet their
obligations and proposed actions.
The Greenville Homeless Alliance has adopted the Homeless Whitepaper which indicates plans to
address homeless activities and issues in Greenville County. Additionally, the newly created
Greenville Homeless Alliance (GHA) is established to further facilitate the implementation of the
specific strategies identified in the Homeless whitepaper. GHA will address the priorities set forth in
the Homeless White Paper in a strategic fashion, focusing efforts toward creating more affordable
housing opportunities for our Greenville residents with very low income household/individuals
(approximately $15,00 and below). Additionally, GHA will work in tandem with the other housing
partners in Greenville to promote affordable housing initiatives in the county. GHA also hosted a
series of Listening sessions that included present and previously homeless individuals to help
identify and explain gaps in services to the homeless population.
GCRA staff also contributes to ongoing planning and stakeholder consultations by participating in
community meetings such as the Upstate Continuum of Care Greenville Laurens chapter and
Greenville Homeless Alliance and focus groups and forums that leverage local attributes and
capacity such as COC Greenlink partnership that is currently seeking to identify gaps in homeless
population services.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
All ESG Subrecipients report their activities in the HMIS system. Administered via the United Housing
Connections (UHC) acting as the CoC. Annual data showing demographics of clients served and types
of services provided by each subrecipient are obtained from UHC via the HMIS. Additionally, all
subrecipients are required to submit to GCRA Bi-annual and Annual reports. All of the Subrecipients
are monitored annually. The Subrecipient performance is evaluated against enumerated goals and
objectives stated in their Grant Agreements. Subrecipients also attend mandatory trainings to
ensure data and performance compliance.
