Who We Serve

We work with case managers serving three populations who have verifiable income and need stable transitional housing as a bridge to permanent placement.

⚑

Veterans

Veteran-Owned. Transitional housing for veterans receiving VA disability compensation, pension benefits, or VASH housing vouchers. We work directly with VA social workers and veteran service organizations to coordinate placements.

VA disability • VA pension • VASH vouchers

☕

Social Security Recipients

Stable housing for individuals receiving SSI or SSDI who need time and support to transition from crisis to permanent housing. Rent is paid from their monthly benefit — this is not charity. It's a self-sustaining model that works.

SSI • SSDI • Social Security Disability

↻

Reentry Clients

Housing for individuals transitioning out of incarceration who have employment income or transitional assistance. We provide the stable address that makes everything else — a job, a bank account, a lease — possible.

Employment income • Transitional assistance

South Carolina has 1,334 people without a home.

Across South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, communities face a shortage of transitional housing options. Georgia is our primary focus. Existing shelters provide beds for a night, but a bed isn't a solution. People need stability long enough to get a job, save money, and find a permanent place to live.

That takes time. That takes support. That takes a real room with a door that locks.

Eligibility & How It Works

Helping Hands is a self-sustaining transitional housing program — not a shelter or charity. Residents pay rent from their benefits or income. This model keeps beds available long-term and gives residents the dignity of paying their own way.

Our program is designed for people who need stability to transition to permanent housing — not people who need emergency crisis intervention.

Program Requirements

✓ Verifiable income source — VA benefits, SSI/SSDI, active employment, or transitional assistance
✓ Long-term commitment to permanent housing — residents stay the full program duration or until permanent housing is secured
✓ Willingness to work toward permanent housing — active participation in the housing transition plan
✓ Referral from case manager — we coordinate directly with your agency for placement

On income & rent

Residents pay rent from their monthly benefits or wages. SSI/SSDI recipients, veterans receiving disability or pension, and employed reentry clients all qualify. Rent is structured to remain affordable within benefit amounts — residents keep money in their pocket to save toward permanent housing.

What we provide

Every resident gets more than a room. They get the tools to not need us anymore.

☗

Double Rooms

7 double rooms in a real home. Not a cot in a gymnasium. A place with dignity, privacy, and stability.

⤴

Transportation to Work

Rides to job interviews, work shifts, and employment-related appointments. Lack of transportation is the silent barrier that keeps people stuck.

⚙

Job Placement

Active help finding employment that matches skills and availability. Not a job board. Real placement assistance with local employers.

⌂

Permanent Housing

From day one, we work toward the exit. Every resident gets help finding, applying for, and securing a permanent place to live.

💰

Flat Monthly Rate

One all-inclusive rate covers your room, 3 meals a day, 2 snacks, Wi-Fi, computer access, TV, and house phone. No hidden fees. No tiered pricing.

☉ NP

Mental Health NP

Remote Nurse Practitioner available via telehealth to support residents' mental and behavioral health needs. Confidential, resident-centered care built into the program.

☻ Counselor

Counselor

Licensed counselor available remotely for individual and group sessions. Residents get structured support for the emotional side of transition — not just the practical.

Home is the foundation.
Everything else follows.

When someone has a stable room, a ride to work, help finding a job, and a plan for permanent housing, they don't just survive. They rebuild. Helping Hands Shared Housing exists because our community's homeless population deserves more than a shelter bed. They deserve a starting point.
