Permanent Supportive Housing
As we continue to spend time evaluating the viability and need for Supportive Housing in Rock Hill, we feel strongly in the further development of this program to create a community wide impact reaching far beyond the Supportive Housing program itself. To show this, we are committing one of our homes to continue building the Supportive Housing program. HDC owns a 3-bedroom, 2-bath single family home at 509 Bynum Ave. Rock Hill, SC that will be up for occupancy by a family or a group of individuals.
