The multifamily housing industry is about more than just buildings; it’s about building strong communities and transforming lives. Team USAA is incredibly proud to support Entryway South Carolina this week at their annual fundraiser, "An Evening With Entryway Greenville."

Entryway's mission is deeply intertwined with our own. They work tirelessly to transition individuals and families out of housing instability to economic self-sufficiency by providing career training, full-time employment, and housing opportunities directly within the real estate industry.

We simply could not execute our own workforce development initiatives without this vital partnership. Together, we are actively training and placing individuals into meaningful multifamily careers right here in the Upstate, building essential talent pipelines for our members while helping people reach their full potential.

Join us to learn more about how Entryway serves the Greenville area and the tangible ways this organization positively impacts our industry.
