The Waccamaw HOME Consortium (Consortium) is in the process of developing the Annual Action Plan for the Waccamaw Region (Georgetown, Horry and Williamsburg Counties).  This Plan is required in order to receive and administer HOME (HOME Investment Partnership Act of 1992) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  These funds are used to meet national objectives of providing decent, safe and sanitary housing, new rental and homeownership housing opportunities and neighborhood stability through homeowner housing rehabilitation.

While the activities which can be conducted using these funds are very limited, it is important to gain citizen guidance, input and comments in order to better address community needs.  Copies of the Draft Annual Action Plan will be available to all attendees.  Upon completion of the public hearing the plan will be made available in the public library branches, online at www.wrcog.org/transportation-planning/home-consortium/DraftAnnualActionPlan-2015 and at the Consortium office.

Comments may be mailed to the Waccamaw HOME Consortium, c/o Tom Britton, Planning Director, Waccamaw Regional Council of Governments, Planning Department, 1230 Highmarket Street, Georgetown, SC  29440 or you may contact Mr. Britton at 843-436-6125 or tbritton@wrcog.org.
