Description

A new federal law, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, just passed — and it’s a game-changer for homeowners. Big corporations owning over 350 single-family homes can’t buy any more, aiming to stop them from outbidding regular families with cash offers. The law also boosts housing supply by expanding rural programs and encouraging local approvals for accessory units and multi-family housing. It brings critical support to Habitat for Humanity with grants and simplified HUD funding for home repairs — especially vital for unsafe, deteriorating homes. Real estate pros are already seeing how corporate dominance pushes out everyday buyers, and while full effects won’t hit until 2027 and take five years to unfold, the goal is clear: more affordable homes for families chasing the American Dream.

episode Lowcountry Animal Cruelty and Local Solutions | Charleston News artwork

Lowcountry Animal Cruelty and Local Solutions | Charleston News

Animal cruelty in the Lowcountry is escalating, sparking urgent calls for stronger protections. South Carolina ranks dead last in animal welfare laws, leaving communities vulnerable to preventable suffering. From homes choked with waste to a massive Georgetown County rescue of 120 dogs—plus 125 found dead—advocates are pushing back. Despite pleas for help, weak state laws and limited enforcement mean intervention often comes too late. The solution? Local action. Counties are drafting strict ordinances: limits on tethering, weather protections, minimum space rules, and clearer definitions of neglect. This isn’t just about reacting—it’s about building a proactive, compassionate community where no animal suffers in silence.

New Insurance Lifeline for SC Bars | Charleston News

South Carolina’s bars and restaurants are getting a much-needed insurance lifeline as a new partnership between the South Carolina Bar and Tavern Association and Ragnar Hospitality aims to cut through the chaos of skyrocketing liquor liability premiums. With insurers pulling out and costs soaring—some business owners paying over 40x more in just a few years—Ragnar’s hands-on approach, which evaluates operations instead of just alcohol sales, could be the game-changer. While last year’s legislative fixes fell short, this initiative hopes to lure more insurers into the market, stabilize rates, and give small businesses the breathing room they need to survive, thrive, and keep pouring into the local economy.
