Anderson County South Carolina rent and housing assistance.

A combination of rental assistance programs and shelters are available in Anderson County South Carolina. Low income families that are facing a crisis can get help in the form of donated money for paying bank rent, legal aid, or rapid rehousing. There are also shelters as well as transitional housing services that can help the homeless in Anderson County.

Many of the administering agencies are churches or faith based groups such as UHC-AIM. Since the rent or security deposit help is provided by charities, this means that funding is limited. The other option for housing assistance is section 8 vouchers, but there is generally a waiting list in place. Or a tenant with a stable source of income can always try a loan program for paying their rent.

No matter age, age, religion, disability, etc. there are ways to get help in Anderson County. Try one or more of the agencies below for everything from legal advice to grants or even transitional – supportive housing.
