# Town of Bluffton Affordable Housing Committee Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM

The Town of Bluffton Affordable Housing Committee met on October 1, 2026. The committee received an update on an affordable/workforce housing project: materials and labor have been ordered, with construction expected to begin after the remaining South Carolina DOT encroachment permit and Beaufort-Jasper water and sewer approvals. Material delivery was scheduled for December 15, and the developer described a 90-day build target that could extend to 120 days. Project costs were reported as remaining within the planned AMI parameters, but no dollar amount or contract award was provided. The committee requested monthly project updates. The Neighborhood Assistance Program report noted recent contractor invoices for home repair work and activity across 18 homes; no spending figures were stated.

Members discussed streamlining future town-development agreements to reduce administrative steps while retaining affordability requirements. The current project’s affordability covenants remain in place for at least 30 years unless the Town Council votes to remove them; a separate project at 115 Bluffton Road was described as having agreed to a 99-year covenant. The committee discussed holding a workshop on covenants and related policy recommendations, potentially tying longer affordability terms to the level of town assistance. The committee also approved its adjusted 2027 meeting calendar. No procurement award or specific spending motion was recorded.
