Total Care for the Homeless Coalition (TCHC) is a Continuum of Care with a service area that includes the South Carolina counties of Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Kershaw, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter, and Williamsburg.
Eastern Carolina Housing Organization (ECHO) is also able to serve qualifying Veterans in the North Carolina counties of Columbus, Robeson, and Scotland.
Agencies within the TCHC network are here to support eligible households referred through TCHC’s Coordinated Entry System (CES). CES is a process that assesses and prioritizes people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, connecting them with available housing programs.
Due to limited resources, CES focuses on helping the most vulnerable individuals and families first. Please note that completing this form is only the first step in being considered for help through CES, and it doesn’t guarantee services.
While we assess your situation, we encourage you to continue seeking assistance through other community resources. You can reach 211, a statewide resource guide, by dialing 211 or visiting 211.org. For more information about TCHC and the Coordinated Entry System, visit the TCHC website here.
You have indicated that you are not within our qualifying service area however there are still resources available for you. 211 serves as a resource listing and we encourage you to dial 211 from a mobile phone or visit:
Last night I slept, or will be sleeping tonight in one of these locations:
I am currently fleeing or attempting to flee a domestic violence situation.
I have received an eviction notice from my landlord and do not have the resources needed to stay in my home or locate other housing.
A copy of your eviction notice must be submitted with this completed assessment to process your information.
