While the whole world is currently challenged with caring for its people responsibly amidst COVID-19, ECHO remains focused on safely housing our most vulnerable community members.
Navy Veteran, Richard, had experienced homelessness off and on for the last several years. Before coming to ECHO, he had been sleeping in the woods for eight months.
With support from ECHO’s Veteran Services team, last week Richard moved into his own, safe, permanent home.
Richard’s Housing Case Manager, Kim, describes the distancing precautions she took while ending this Veteran’s homelessness: “I unlocked the unit, and then sat in the car while Richard went in to inspect it. He gave me a thumbs up and walked away, so I could leave his lease and the donated Welcome Home Basket and groceries inside his new place. Richard signed his lease and left it for me at the door step. He was so incredibly happy!”
Happy Move-in Day, Richard!
All ECHO offices are closed to the public until further notice out of caution due to COVID-19.
We are committed to supporting our community responsibly, and will continue providing as many services as possible remotely.
If you’re already receiving services, all Housing Case Managers will be available during regular office hours to provide support by telephone.
If you are experiencing homelessness or are in danger of becoming homeless, please go to echousing.org/get-help or call our main office at 843-213-1798 to schedule a phone assessment.
More information about COVID-19, including prevention and treatment, can be obtained from the CDC COVID-19 Website and the SC DHEC Website.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work through these extraordinary challenges together.
