2022 Community Projects
2022 - Social Services Advancement Project (SSAP-001)
The City of Columbia Task Force to Prevent and End Homelessness partnered with Inspire Real Change in April 2022 to develop and drive solutions to reduce and end homelessness in Columbia, South Carolina. With this partnership, the Social Services Advancement Project (SSAP-001) was created to identify current programs/services, assess Social Service community integration, and initiate efficiencies/solutions to reduce homelessness.
2022 - Community Connections Project
The Community Connections Project will engage unsheltered citizens in Richland County, South Carolina. Our community outreach team will engage homeless/unsheltered individuals, provide health/hygiene items, and conduct on-site needs assessments. Utilizing information from the assessment, the individual's needs will be prioritized to produce person-centered plans. Unsheltered citizens will then be directly connected with health programs/housing services to fill their needs and support homeless recovery
2021 - Veteran Connect Project
The Veteran Connect Project finds its purpose in connecting Unsheltered Veterans with programs, services, and resources. The overall goal is to engage Veterans, assess their needs, and connect them with services to fill individual needs. We believe Real Change is found in filling needs, which drives the recovery process.
"Fighting to Reduce and End Homelessness", We Mean It!
Thank You 9Round Lexington and Members for Partnering with the Veteran Connect Project! Your Generosity is Making a Difference and Driving Real Change in our Communities! We distributed health and wellness bags during our Homeless Veteran outreach efforts, as we connect Veterans with resources/services to promote homeless recovery.
Through our Veteran Connect Project outreach efforts in Columbia, SC, we connected three Veterans with a VA Housing Program, connected four Veterans with Transitional Shelter, and connected five Veterans with medical services. Utilizing a Quality Needs Assessment and Strength-Based Approach, we were able to connect Veterans to program/services. Thank You from the entire Inspire Real Change Team and Partners, as we continue the Fight to Reduce and End Homelessness.
