Upstate SC credit unions participate in the Habitat Greenville build

Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County has started construction of a new affordable home in partnership with 11 local credit unions.

Walls were officially raised on the 2026 Credit Union Build on Feb. 25. LaTonya Phillips, CEO and president of Habitat Greenville, said the project is a shining example of how the nonprofit organization collaborates with others in the community to create more affordable housing options.

The new affordable home under construction is located at 101A Sturtevant St. in Greenville, near White Horse Road. The Credit Union Build will be the first duplex built by Habitat Greenville. The organization has completed nine single-family homes on Sturtevant Street since 2023.

“Our goal is to create more doors and opportunities,” Phillips said. “Duplex building is a model many other affiliates are going to, and we see them as a great opportunity.”

The organizations participating in the Credit Union Build include:

• Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union
• Spero Financial
• Vizo Financial Corporate Credit Union
• MTC Federal Credit Union
• Greenville Federal Credit Union
• Founders Federal Credit Union
• South Carolina Federal Credit Union
• Truliant Federal Credit Union
• Family Trust Federal Credit Union
• Greenville Heritage Credit Union
• CPM Federal Credit Union

“Habitat Greenville helps strengthen our community by supporting affordable home ownership,” said Scott Weaver, president and CEO of Carolina Foothills Credit Federal Credit Union. “By working together, we are creating lasting change for families and neighborhoods.

The Credit Union Build is also part of Habitat Greenville’s 40th Anniversary Community Collective. The organization has built more than 420 homes and renovated 330 existing homes since 1985.
