Core offering

Homeless No More operates a continuum of housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness in the Midlands of South Carolina. The core offering spans emergency shelter (Family Shelter, capacity for 17 families for up to 30 days), transitional shelter with up to two years of housing and wraparound services (St. Lawrence Place), and affordable housing development (Live Oak Program, with communities including Grand Village, Waites Way, and St. Andrews Village). Complementary services include case management, children's programming, life skills training, parenting education, and workforce development through an SC Works Connection Point lab.

Product overview

Homeless No More operates a unified system of care for homeless and at-risk families, combining three core programs: Family Shelter (emergency services providing immediate crisis housing for up to 17 families for 30 days), St. Lawrence Place (transitional shelter offering up to two years of housing with comprehensive support services), and Live Oak (affordable housing development program). The organization also operates Grand Village and Waites Way as mixed-income housing communities, and St. Andrews Village in Lexington County. Beyond housing, the portfolio includes children's programming, life skills training, case management, and children's camp programs. Fundraising initiatives include the Take Flight & Soar Campaign, Holiday Shop tradition, Stars So Bright celebration, and Race for the Place 5K. The organization is notable as the only shelter system in South Carolina that keeps entire families together, including fathers and boys over age 12.

Broad incumbents

• Family Promise: National nonprofit addressing family homelessness through shelter, prevention, and stabilization programs. Directly comparable mission and target population (families with children), though operates nationally with a broader affiliate network rather than a single regional integrated model.
