Recipients are expected to participate in programs which promote disiplined, responsible living."

How We Help
The Greenville Community Shelter is a private, nonprofit ageny -- not a government program. We assist individual adult men and women ages 18 years and old, and families, in setting and meeting lifestyle management goals that will allow them to become more self-reliant. By collaborating with other community agencies (see links) and individual volunteers, the Shelter seeks to reduce or prevent homelessness. Assisting people to achieve and maintain long term productivity and independence in daily living is a common component in all the programs offered: Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, Emergency Assistance Ministry (EAM), and Solid Ground permanent housing. There are also seasonal programs geared towards Shelter children and, in partnership with Pitt Community College, on-going educational enrichment programs including life skills training, financial management, and employment skills/ education level upgrading.
