Our Disaster Services Program started in 2016 just after the devastation of Hurricane Matthew. Since then, we have been able to provide assistance during the aftermath of natural disasters.

​

Our disaster services team ensures clients return to safe, sanitary, and secure living conditions after a natural disaster.​ A sometimes forgotten cycle of natural disasters is the Recovery Phase. Once immediate response and relief efforts are provided, many are left dealing with long term effects on their own. Since Catholic Charities is deeply rooted in South Carolina, we are able to provide short- and long-term recovery services to clients impacted by natural disasters (mostly hurricanes).

​

Through contractor and community partnerships, we assist clients in their journey to return to safe, sanitary, and secure living conditions. Many have adjusted their life for at least a year before contacting us, living in moldy or unsafe conditions daily.
