OUR VISION
The Center of Hope will be Greenville County’s first comprehensive homelessness response campus, bringing prevention, shelter, recovery, and housing services together in one location. Its goal is simple: help individuals and families move from crisis to self-sufficiency.
By the Numbers:

- Reduce the length of homelessness through coordinated case management
- Increase permanent housing placements
- Reduce unnecessary emergency room utilization through medical respite services
- Strengthen Greenville’s workforce by helping individuals return to employment
- Reduce the long-term social and economic costs of chronic homelessness
Campaign Status
Goal: $17.5 Million
$14.5 Million – Construction & Equipment
$1.5 Million – Contingency Fund
$1.5 Million – Operating Endowment
We need the final $2 million secured by October 1, 2026, to begin construction in early 2027.
This updated facility will allow us to keep families together while they work to get back on their feet. Help us reach our goal!
There are two ways you can give:
1. Donate safely and securely online at SalvationArmyGreenville.org, or through the button below.
2. Mail or drop off a check 501 Rutherford Street, Greenville, SC 29609
Most funding has already been secured. The remaining gap of $2 million, driven by rising construction costs, represents the final step toward opening a transformative resource for Greenville's most vulnerable neighbors. Your investment will help provide safety, stability, and opportunities for generations to come.
