COLUMBIA, S.C. In less than 10 years, public housing is expected to look very different in Columbia and Richland County.
In a virtual meeting Wednesday, Columbia Housing announced a new plan to demolish, renovate and add new affordable housing by 2030.
From July 2019 until now, architects, engineers, appraisers and environmental consultants have assessed all properties of the Columbia Housing Authority.
That s 1,684 units in 28 complexes.
In order to fund the demolition, rebuilding and renovation of these properties, Columbia Housing will adopt a new public housing platform.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown has advanced the nomination of Adrianne Todman as the next deputy secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Todman was approved by a voice vote. If approved by the full Senate, Todman – who led the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials and held previous positions at HUD - will become thefirst Black woman to serve as the agency’s second-in-command.
