We can NOT HELP anyone else till WE FIX THIS! All Over Our Country! 2013 Homeless Point-In-Time Count Survey Results: The PIT identified 6,035 homeless people living in South Carolina at the end of January 2013. This marked a 28.3%increase compared to last count in 2011. Between 2011 and 2013, the total number of homeless persons in the state in- creased by 1331 from a previous total of 4701. The most dramatic increase was among those who were found to be unsheltered. The 2013 PIT identified 3116 people living on the streets or in a place not suitable for human habitation such as cars, encampments or woods. This is a 72% increase in the number counted in 2011 (1813). The count found 2919 people in shelters such as emergency shel- ters, temporary winter shelters and domestic violence shelters as well as transi- tional housing units. The state total of sheltered people did not change signifi- cantly between 2011 and 2013 indicating that the overall capacity to temporari- ly house people in the state has not changed though there were increases or losses of capacity in some local communities. schomeless.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/SCHC-2013-PIT-REPORT-FINAL-Post.pdf
