New agreement aims to strengthen neighborhoods and promote inclusive growth in Columbia

Columbia, South Carolina – The City of Columbia has said that it will partner with DreamKey Partners, a nonprofit developer known across the country for its efforts in affordable housing and changing communities. The agreement is another step in the city’s plan to make secure, stable housing more available and make neighborhoods in Columbia stronger.

Housing has traditionally been seen as a top priority for the city because it is the basis for community health, economic progress, and a better quality of life. Columbia wants to strengthen that commitment by working with DreamKey Partners. They want to make sure that families of all income levels can find cheap, decent homes to live.

DreamKey Partners has been building homes that are both affordable and environmentally friendly for more than 30 years. Their work frequently focuses on more than just the physical structure of homes. They also focus on the sense of belonging, opportunity, and stability that comes with them. This method is quite similar to Columbia’s goals of promoting growth that includes everyone and giving locals more influence.

As part of the cooperation, DreamKey will work directly with people in Columbia to learn more about what they care about. People in the area will have a say in future initiatives so that housing solutions meet the needs of the community. To that aim, locals are asked to fill out a survey that will help plan future projects and get input.

DreamKey Partners has been working on initiatives for more than 30 years that focus on making neighborhoods more stable and changing them for the better. Their history shows a focus on sustainability and a mission based on inclusiveness and empowerment. Columbia officials think this experience will be very important for moving the city’s housing policy forward and fixing problems that affect citizens right now.

The City of Columbia sees this cooperation as both useful and forward-looking. It is an investment in housing that not only provides shelter but also builds strong, resilient neighborhoods. The goal of the partnership is to make real progress toward a more inclusive housing future by combining the city’s vision with DreamKey’s knowledge.

Community members are encouraged to take the housing survey and share their perspectives at: https://s.surveylegend.com/-OWb4_z68FjxVZyY3wiv.
