‘Invisible homeless’ continues to be an issue in Chatham County, SCCPSS
“‘I think a lot of people’s minds go to the Truman parkway because that is definitely our most visible homeless camp in the community, but there’s also an invisible homeless population that don’t get a lot of coverage, and that’s families living in hotels and motels,’ said Latacia Avila, Executive Director of Social Apostolate.
They’re known as the invisible homeless.
It’s the population of people who bounce around from extended stays at motels, to homeless camps, shelters and everywhere in-between. Often times, bringing their children along with them, which can make life difficult on both the kids and the school system.”
