Community Assists Homeless Grandmother Find Housing

From The State newspaper, a York County (SC) woman was living in a makeshift tent with her 7 year-old grandson while unhoused last week. While the woman did receive some welfare benefits, they were sufficient to transition her and her grandchild into permanent housing.

After local residents observed the pair in distress, a number of individuals coordinated resources to help her secure entry into an apartment. At present, the re-housed grandmother is now going though court proceedings and home inspections to secure the return of her grandson from protective care.
