South Carolina has been awarded $3.5 million by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency to help serve the state’s homeless and hungry.
The funds, awarded through FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program, more than double what we received last year, which is needed now more than ever with many students going homeless here amid the recession.
The number of children in SC without a regular home has risen more than 45% since 2007.
