Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To facilitate, develop, and advocate for neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing construction, preservation and economic development in Charleston County.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To facilitate, develop, and advocate for neighborhood revitalization, affordable (Schedule O) housing construction, preservation and economic development in Charleston County.

  • The CRC is a non-profit organization focused on the development and preservation of affordable housing in the Charleston area and helps secure local, state and national funding for long-term housing affordability. The CRC is organized to leverage funding to facilitate, develop, and advocate for neighborhood revitalization, housing construction, preservation and economic development throughout Charleston County. Working in concert with Development Partners and Local Units of Government.(Continued on Schedule O)The CRC operates three (3) Loan Programs, an affordable housing loan program for developers, Common Cause Rehabilitation Loan Program, and provides Consumer Down Payment Assistance Loans designed to remove financial barriers that hinder the development of affordable housing.The CRC operates the Palmetto Community Land Trust, which provides long term affordability to approximately Two Hundred (200) housing units being planned, constructed, or preserved. The Land Trust places land in long-term trust protection to ensure affordability and accessibility for future generations. The Palmetto Community Land Trust (PCLT) is a program of the Charleston Redevelopment Corporation (CRC), a private 501c3 nonprofit corporation governed by an all-volunteer board of directors.- The CRC's approach to affordable homeownership is a community focused effort. Our dedication to the community is highlighted by our board, which maintains 1/3 representation by low to moderate income persons or residents of low-income neighborhoods.- Community control of land is maintained where the Trust retains ownership of the land and conveys ownership of the improvements to an individual via a 99-year long-term renewable ground lease that can be inherited by future generations.- Single family detached and multi-family housing is removed from the speculative market to restrict price appreciation and to maintain long-term affordability, both in ownership and rental housing.- Preserves public and private subsidies by managing price appreciation, retaining community value, and recycling the subsidy, land, and affordable units for future generations. The resale price of PCLT properties is capped by a formula to ensure affordability remains with the property owner.- Allows local control of the community's housing future to build a long-term relationship with homeowners.- Large scale development is possible through joint venture development and public-private partnerships.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
