Service Coordinators in Multifamily Housing Program Awards

Through the Service Coordinator in Multifamily Housing (SCMF) program, $441,223 will be allocated to pay salaries and associated benefits for service coordinator professionals at Rock Hill Housing Authority.

Service coordinators connect residents aged 62 years and older and persons with disabilities with resources to help them age in place and live independently. These resources include financial management assistance, opportunities for social connections, and health and well-being programs. Tenants have the option to choose services according to their preferences. Service coordinators also help property management better understand the needs of their resident population.

"These funds help enhance the quality of life for these residents by bringing appropriate community-based services within reach, enabling residents to live independently with dignity," Executive Director Dewayne Alford.
