One in Three Families can't afford the basics
Financial hardship remains a persistent problem in Greenville County. Thousands of working families earn too much to qualify for assistance but not enough to cover the basics, and one unexpected expense can mean crisis.
New data shows 35 percent of Greenville County households, more than 81,000 families, couldn’t afford housing, child care, food, transportation and health care in 2024. These are our neighbors and coworkers, often working more than one job just to get by.
With Greenville County’s constant growth and circumstances changing for families who are already struggling, we need your support now more than ever. Thank you for investing in our work to break down barriers for Greenville County families and create a stronger community for all.
