SC homeless shelter seeing ‘tsunami’ of people in need after eviction moratorium ends
“Housing advocates in South Carolina are seeing a spike in need, unlike anything they’ve seen this year.
Since the eviction moratorium ended at the end of August, families across the Palmetto State have been leaving the place they called home with mountains of debt.
Organizations like Homeless No More are trying to help these at-risk families but are at capacity because of the demand.
‘Normally we will see 10 phone calls a day from families who are at risk of homelessness. In the past 10 days, we are now at 20 to 30 phone calls each day from families who have received notice of evictions and will be homeless in the next 24 to 48 hours,’ Homeless No More CEO Lila Anna Sauls said.”
