Our CEO Mario Brown was recently interviewed on The Selling Greenville Podcast with Stan McCune.  You can listen to it through the link in our bio 🔗

Greenville’s success has created a difficult question: where will its teachers, firefighters, service workers, and local families be able to live? Mario Brown, CEO of Affordable Upstate, breaks down rising housing costs, limited supply, development resistance, and what it will take to keep Greenville affordable for the people who call it home.

The commonly used benchmark for housing affordability is that no more than 30% of household income should go toward housing costs. When housing costs exceed 30% of a household’s income, families are considered “cost burdened”—meaning they have less money available for essentials like food, healthcare, transportation, and savings.

In 2023, 31.3% of American households fell into that category.

At Affordable Upstate, we’re working to change that. Our mission is to preserve and modernize naturally occurring affordable housing across Upstate South Carolina, creating quality homes that help hardworking families live closer to where they work without being priced out of their communities.

Building stronger communities goes beyond providing housing. We engage with local stakeholders, organize community events, and create support programs that bring neighbors together and help residents feel connected. 

By investing in opportunities that foster relationships, encourage engagement, and promote a true sense of belonging, we’re working to enhance the quality of life in every community we serve.

High rent prices have reached critical, record levels. This surge, driven by supply shortages and algorithmic pricing, is fueling inflation, increasing homelessness risks (a $100 rent hike correlates to a 9% rise in homelessness), and forcing households to cut spending on food and health care.

Affordable Upstate is committed to creating quality housing with lowered rents—because reducing cost-burdened households means building stronger, more stable communities.

We aim to identify assets in markets with strong multifamily fundamentals, employment growth, population growth and other key demand drivers. All the properties we acquire have value-add characteristics that include the ability to reposition the asset through capital improvements and upgrades, renovating the interior units, improving operations, decreasing expenses and creating other revenue-generating projects.

As Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson continue to grow and attract new investment, so does the cost of living. For teachers, healthcare professionals, first responders, hospitality workers, and many others, finding a quality, affordable home close to work is becoming more challenging.

That’s why Affordable Upstate exists. Since 2017, we’ve focused on preserving and revitalizing naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH), helping protect existing apartment communities instead of replacing them with luxury developments. Our mission is to create quality, attainable housing options for the hardworking people who keep our communities running.
