New transitional housing in Greenville can serve more than 40 men recovering from addiction or leaving homeless shelters.
The eight new homes are located behind the Miracle Hill Overcomers Center, an addiction recovery center, on North Pleasantburg Drive. Each home has room for six men who have graduated from a recovery program.
Such transitional housing serves as a puzzle piece in the overall solution to providing affordable housing, according to Ryan Duerk, president and CEO of Miracle Hill Ministries, the homeless service provider in the Upstate that built the homes. I m asked every week of my life if we need more shelters in the Upstate, and the answer is no, Duerk said. We don t need more shelters; we need more shelter exits.
