The Office of
Supportive Housing Services is part of the
Department of Internal Medicine, which is the largest clinical
department in the School of Medicine with over 100 faculty and staff
in nine different divisions. The Department of Medicine has many years
of experience in community medical and public health based services.
Our services began with medical care and supportive services to
uninsured and underinsured persons with HIV.
Our office has four programs providing services to persons who
have disabilities and who are homeless or who are at an increased risk of
homelessness. We work with clients who have an interest in learning
ways to change their current situation. Our service providers
engage our clients with the idea that each client works as hard as
we do to get ahead and to change their current situation. We
provide case management, not crisis management. We may be able to help
in times of crisis - and we try to teach clients
how to avoid future crises.
For more information about our services, or to find out
information about community resources including housing, please contact
our office at 803.343.3437.
We provide
services to residents of the following counties: Richland, Lexington,
Saluda, Calhoun, Fairfield and Kershaw. All
housing services are contingent upon verification of eligiblity,
including verification of homelessness and disability.
