2015 Homelessness White Paper

Housing Plan

The 2015 Homelessness White Paper for Greenville County presents a collaborative strategy to reduce homelessness through improved service coordination and targeted housing initiatives. Key recommendations include establishing more permanent supportive housing for vulnerable populations, increasing family shelter capacity, and adding medical respite beds for homeless individuals with health needs. The report highlights the need for a dedicated Homeless Coordinator to oversee outreach and streamline services. It also calls for policy advocacy in four areas: expanding public transportation, enhancing mental health funding, creating transitional housing for released prisoners, and increasing child care support for homeless families. The document stresses sustainable funding and community involvement to strengthen Greenville’s response to chronic homelessness.
