A Strong Plan For Change

GREENVILLE TOGETHER

Our Vision for Greenville

Greenville Together will functionally end unsheltered homelessness through a comprehensive community response to ensure it is prevented whenever possible, or if it can’t be prevented, it is a rare, brief, and non-recurring experience. 

Our Goal

By December 2025, the initiative will help 80 unsheltered individuals find permanent housing—50 through immediate housing placements and 30 through stability supports.
