A 46-unit affordable housing community, located on Butler Road in Mauldin, was awarded low-income tax credits from Mercy Housing Southeast.
Groundbreaking is expected for early second quarter 2020 and construction is expected to take 12-15 months.
Championed by Bon Secours St. Francis Health System and with financial support from SC Housing and the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority, Mauldin Center Apartments will serve families earning under 60% of the area median income with 10% of the units set aside for residents with disabilities.
“We are thrilled to partner with Bon Secours to deliver affordable multifamily rental homes in this amenity-rich area,” said James Alexander, president of Mercy Housing Southeast. “The need for affordable housing is great. We look forward to supporting healthier communities in the Greenville area.”
Mauldin Center Apartments will be located within a half mile of grocery stores, health care providers and numerous other services. One-, two-, and three-bedroom units will be wired for high-speed internet, include Energy Star appliances, and have access to a community room, computer center, gazebo, paved walking trail and playground.
Mercy Housing Southeast provides affordable homes to people with low incomes, including families, seniors, people who have experienced homelessness and people with disabilities. The company has 45 properties throughout Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee.
