About Us
The
Greenville County Redevelopment
Authority (GCRA) was established in 1974 to serve as the county agency for
providing safe, decent, affordable housing for low and moderate income citizens.
Its mission is to improve the quality of life for low and moderate income
citizens of Greenville County through improved affordable housing and
revitalization of the physical, social and economic infrastructure necessary to
the well-being of communities. Through partnerships and federal funding
(Community Development Block Grant, HOME) the GCRA has improved affordable
housing and revitalized neighborhoods all across Greenville County, including
the small cities of Fountain Inn, Greer, Travelers Rest, Mauldin, and Simpsonville.
The Redevelopment
Authority has been working in the Freetown community since 2000. The
community has received the local Chamber of Commerce Max Heller Neighborhood
Improvement Award, the South Carolina State Housing Finance & Development
Authority Housing Award, and the National Association for City and Community
Economic Development (NACCED) Organization Community Development Award.
This unique neighborhood could not have been successful without the support and
commitment of the leadership in the Freetown community. The Board and
staff of the Redevelopment Authority are pleased to have worked with such a
special neighborhood.
