Some 30 percent of respondents in the new study said they were homeless for the first time, she said.

According to the Jan. 24 count, Greenville County has the most homeless people at 896 followed by Horry County at 839 and Charleston County at 403.

 

 

 

A new national report on homelessness says South Carolina has 11 homeless people per 10,000 residents. In comparison, the homeless rate for Georgia is nearly double that amount. North Carolina and Tennessee homelessness is slightly higher than the Palmetto State, according to “The State of Homelessness in America".

Homeless statistics in Greenville

Living on the streets has increased 72 percent in the past two years, the South Carolina Coalition for the Homeless reports.

“The number of people who were found to be unsheltered is troubling,” the analysis states. The snapshot picture of the problem is based on the coalition’s Jan. 24 count of 6,032 homeless statewide, including 3,116 who reported finding refuge outside of shelters. In 2011 the total homeless count was 4,701.

The problem of homelessness to some extent reflects a lack of affordable housing, said Anita Floyd of the South Carolina Coalition for the Homeless.
