About SC UpLift
SC UpLift Community Outreach was founded in South Carolina in February 2008 as a nonprofit organization and operates as a tax-exempt community housing development entity. Our dedicated team strives to create sustainable, affordable housing solutions for underserved communities. We are passionate about making a meaningful impact by providing safe, comfortable homes for those in need. Our mission is to uplift lives through innovative architecture and community development, with a vision to enhance and strengthen communities in need.
About our Organization
Our goal is to improve conditions in distressed communities by employing three major strategies in conjunction with residents of these communities and key stakeholders.
These are:
-
Provide quality affordable housing for low to moderate income residents;
-
Employ social enterprise as a strategy for community and economic development; and
-
Integrate financial literacy education training into existing life skills training programs.
We strive to help individuals and families, as they seek to improve their quality of life, through the provision of safe, secure, and affordable housing by working through collaborative relationships to create or re-create neighborhoods, that when connected to others, form environments that nurture human potential in all the major cornerstones of a community —educational, social, economic, environmental and health.
We believe that communities such as the ones we envision are the bedrock of our nation’s stability. Providing opportunities for quality, affordable housing to working families and to the increasing number of our citizens who are homeless. Our top priority is to employ a range of strategies that have proven effective in achieving the goal of nurturing community environments.
Our mission and core values are at the heart of everything we do. As a team, we are deeply committed to transforming lives and communities by expanding access to affordable housing. We envision thriving communities where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Our core values shape our identity, guiding our actions and decisions as we work toward a brighter, more inclusive future.
