Transforming homes, transforming lives.

Follow how CHA is reshaping its properties and expanding quality, affordable housing across Charleston.

Welcome to the Charleston Housing Authority’s Development page.

This work represents an important opportunity to thoughtfully transform our properties, expand access to quality affordable and attainable housing and strengthen the communities we serve. We also know meaningful development requires transparency, collaboration and trust. This page is designed to keep residents, partners and the broader Charleston community informed as plans move forward, milestones are reached and decisions are made. At CHA, we believe this work is about more than building homes. It is about creating the foundation for stronger families, greater opportunity and lasting human transformation.

FAQs

How do I rent my unit(s) to HCV participants?

If you are interested in making your unit(s) available to tenants with Housing Choice vouchers. When you accept an applicant with a voucher, fill out the landlord packet, and turn it into our office. Calculations will be made to assure the unit is affordable and meets comparability. If it does, an inspection is scheduled, and when your unit passes the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection, you are in the Program.
