NORTH CHARLESTON — Four nonprofits are now housed under the same roof, but the groups are doing more than simply sharing real estate.
The organizations at the recently opened Opportunity Center also share a similar vision: Make the space a one-stop shop for economic services that can lead to generational wealth for underserved entrepreneurs.
That vision can be accomplished as the four organizations — South Carolina Association for Community Economic Development, the Center for Heirs’ Property Preservation, Increasing H.O.P.E and Homes of Hope Inc. — pool their resources and work together, said Bernie Mazyck, CEO of SCACED.
