Carolina Housing is committed to providing convenient housing that is secure, inclusive, and supportive. Students create a home in our on-campus communities, build life-long friendships and develop skills for their current and futures successes as they journey through their Carolina experience. In support of this mission, the department provides a comprehensive campus housing operation for approximately 10,000 residents including business services, residence life and education, family housing, administrative services, housekeeping, maintenance, human resources, marketing, and information technology. Within these operations, over 500 full-time, part-time, and student staff are responsible for 3.1 million square feet of residential space and an annual auxiliary budget of over $70 million. The department receives no State funding, which makes the operation unique in that it must manage both revenue and expense projections and budgets. The department is also dynamic in that it must continuously adjust to changes in student preferences, demand, rate levels, and a changing landscape of construction and renovation, and enrollment growth. Carolina Housing prides itself on being student-centered, data -driven and dedicated to continuous improvement. To that end, the department is amid implementing its five-year strategic plan and in the process of long-term capital planning that is likely to include renovation and new construction.
