Last year, the South Carolina Interagency Council of Homelessness released its State of Homeless report. It showed an 18 percent jump from the previous year. Very often, it's a simple issue of, you lost your job, you became ill, you had no money left over, and you couldn't pay the rent, and you're kicked out in the street. Stacey Deneau of 180 Place in Charleston is on the front lines of homelessness and housing in our state focused on best practices and proven solutions to ending homelessness.
