The Opportunity Center

is 33,000

square feet,

located in one of the highest traffic areas of South Carolina, and home to over 15 businesses plus the training programs mentioned below. The Opportunity Center also has an 80-seat training room for larger trainings, and numerous smaller conference room spaces for outside organizations to lease for their own trainings and events.

Homes of Hope’s development of The Opportunity Center focused on several goals:

1. Investing the building ownership into three area minority led Non-Profit organizations already doing great work over decades, connecting them to opportunity for asset growth (via ownership) within their own organizations and increased cash-flow for increased capacity

2. Offering collaborative opportunity through shared spaces to these three non-profits, as well as numerous others from the area, adding to their collective impact, and also offering meeting space to area non-profits for trainings and events

3. Offering business training for minority led businesses in the area through:

• Small Business Success Center—targeting minority-led small businesses

• Women’s Business Center—targeting women-owned small businesses
