Conference draft would allocate up to $5 million to Habitat South Carolina for affordable homeownership program
Summary
House language in the conference draft would allow Housing to allocate up to $5 million to Habitat South Carolina via a lump‑sum block grant, with execution of an MOU and county spending limits.
The conference committee reviewed a House‑adopted proviso (listed in the transcript as section 42, Proviso 402.6) directing the Housing Finance and Development Authority to allocate up to $5,000,000 in existing funds to Habitat South Carolina through a lump‑sum block grant to support affordable homeownership and preservation programs.
The proviso requires Habitat to administer the program in coordination with local Habitat affiliates, and it requires an executed memorandum of understanding between the Housing authority and Habitat SC by July 31. The proviso limits expenditure so that no more than 20% of the total funds may be spent in any single county and requires an expenditure report to the governor and the chairs of the finance and ways and means committees by June 30.
Conference staff presented the House version and the committee carried the provision for further consideration; no final conference agreement was announced and the item was marked for carryover.
