Community Leaders & Concerned Citizens Sought to Serve on Housing Action Committee

May 25, 2023

The Town of Hilton Head Island seeks to appoint a diverse group of community leaders and concerned citizens to serve on its newly formed Housing Action Committee.

Establishing the committee is a key strategy recommended in the Workforce Housing Framework adopted by Town Council last November. Primarily, committee members will advise the Town Manager and Town Council on strategies, ideas, and recommendations that address issues on workforce housing affordability. It will also support implementing the Town’s goals and objectives outlined in the Workforce Housing Framework.

The Workforce Housing Framework focuses on four core pillars: community, planning, management, and revenue. Organizing the citizen committee is aligned with the community pillar, which encourages the Town to engage, collaborate and inform the community on workforce housing challenges and identify community-led housing programs and solutions.

The committee will consist of up to 11 members who have knowledge and experience in various areas that support housing and community development:

• General Homebuilding
• Banking/Finance
• Philanthropy
• Non-profit Affordable Workforce Housing Developer
• For-profit Affordable Workforce Housing Developer
• Community Representative (Concerned Citizen)
• Affordable Housing Tenant or Homeowner
• Employer Representative
• Realtor and Real Estate Professional
• Workforce Housing or Social Service Advocate

Individuals interested in serving on the Housing Action Committee may apply online at hiltonheadislandsc.gov/boards/.

For more information about the Housing Action Committee, please get in touch with Kimberly Gammon, Town Clerk, at KimberlyG@hiltonheadislandsc.gov or 843-341-4701.
