The Housing Development Corporation of Rock Hill, formerly known as Rock Hill Joint Venture for Affordable Housing, celebrated its 30th year of incorporation on December 10, 2020. RHJVAH was the result of the findings of a group of individuals dedicated to the improvement of housing and economic opportunities for low to moderate-income persons. In its first ten years, more than 120 families have benefited through new construction of affordable homes; first-time homebuyer education and assistance; World Changers rehabilitation projects; and other owner-occupied rehabs.

The organization became the Housing Development Corporation of Rock Hill in 2007. The organization has constructed three neighborhoods - Greentree (28 homes), Briarcliff (26 homes), and the Village at Arcade (29 homes) - and built approximately 40 houses for rent and homeownership. HDCRH also operates 31 rental homes, assists dozens of homeowners per year with needed home repairs, provides thousands of dollars in homeless prevention assistance, educates hundreds of first-time homebuyers, and provides thousands of dollars of down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers.
