Stronger Neighborhoods Start Block by Block
SCCDC partners with residents to reduce blight, create attainable housing, and equip communities with the tools to shape their own redevelopment across the Tri-State Area
Our Mission
Southern Charm Community Development Corporation (SCCDC) strengthens neighborhoods by transforming distressed and underutilized properties into safe, quality housing and community-serving spaces.
Our work is rooted in partnership. We believe redevelopment should stabilize neighborhoods not displace them and create long-term opportunity for the residents who already call these communities home.
