8 Weeks: We Are Counting Down to SHAs 80th Anniversary Celebration

HISTORY

At the end of the 1930s, the City of Spartanburg was moving out of the Great Depression and looking toward a brighter future. City leaders met to discuss ways to deal with the various poverty stricken areas in the City and to develop workable plans to provide decent housing for thousands of low-income residents who were living in sub-standard communities. A plan was formulated and on October 2, 1939, members of the newly formed Housing Authority of Spartanburg and the Spartanburg City Council agreed to commit $800,000 for the creation of affordable housing in the area. On September 10, 1940, the Authority broke ground for Tobe Hartwell Courts, the first public housing units in Spartanburg.
