Housing for All Mount Pleasant

Helping Individuals of All Ages & Intergenerational Families
School Teachers & Administrators, Hospital Support Staff, Firefighters & Paramedics, Police, Hospitality workers and lets not forget our Seniors who have been lifelong Mount Pleasant residents.
They all serve as the backbone of our community, yet the rise in housing costs has made it virtually impossible for them to rent or purchase a new home. Gregorie Ferry Town has changed this in Mount Pleasant. Homeowners here can not only build equity and wealth but also benefit from reduced traffic and eliminate commute times.
We turn home ownership dreams into reality.
Maybe you were raised in Mount Pleasant but now can’t afford to return to rent or buy a home. Maybe you have lived in Mount Pleasant your entire life, but your rent just increased $300 per month for the third year in a row. Maybe your children convinced you to sell your home, and now at 70 you are sleeping on your daughter’s couch. Maybe you have been working in Mount Pleasant for over 10 years driving 50 miles each way to and from work.
If you earn less than 150% Area Median Income ($157,650 for a family of 4) then please register for our Homebuyers Program by reading the directions which you must initial and completing the form, which you then email.
We calculate the demand for affordable housing in Mount Pleasant to be 1000 affordable homes and apartments. We are working to make this happen for all the workers, teachers, police, fire, and nurses in Mount Pleasant. We need you to register and if you can please donate to the Affordable Housing movement.
