On the edge of downtown Spartanburg, Fremont School is a beautifully restored historic school building, which was transformed from a vacant hulk into 46 units of affordable apartments utilizing both Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Historic Tax Credits. A local social service agency saw potential in this historic school building and purchased it, but quickly realized they needed an experienced affordable housing partner to facilitate the redevelopment of the school. They formed a partnership with PRI to convert the building into apartments for very low-income residents in the Spartanburg area, including 10 units reserved for the homeless. This arrangement also provided social services to the residents, a component vital to the success of the project.
