On March 28th, 2020, at the onset of the COVID19  pandemic, the Town of Moncks Corner mandated that Santee Cooper (electric company) disconnect the Coach House electricity supply - citing that the building structure had never been inspected and thus did not have an official certificate of occupancy. At the time of shut-off, there were ten residents at the Coach House,  utilizing the transitional housing, daily education and counseling services.

The Coach House which promotes awareness through human services (P.A.T.H.S) has been quietly serving members of the Lowcountry community since 2006, by providing the underserved with access to vital human services such as transitional housing, social services assistance and guidance [SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, Lifeline phone service], mental health and substance abuse counseling, emergency clothing, shelter, and workforce development training. The Coach House also provides mail pick-up service for homeless individuals. 

However, despite providing these services for many years, The Coach House has been struggling to fully meet City standards as required by the Town of Moncks Corner.  The City requires extensive work be completed by licensed commercial contractors, electricians, plumbers, and engineers. 

Although community volunteers were assisting with vital repairs, the City issued a Stop Work Order on September 29th, 2020, which halted all progress. The Coach House is now in its **seventh month** without power and available resources, with fewer residents still residing. This is severely impacting the livelihood of the residents and other individuals in need of services, specifically in this season. As the winter approaches, members of our community cannot be  abandoned or left to face homelessness in their time of need. 

I have started this fundraiser, on behalf of P.A.T.H.S to publicize the needs of The Coach House and appeal to our networks far and wide for help.  Assistance and funds are urgently needed in order to expedite work on the Coach House.Monetary donations will allow the most flexibility for work to continue. Donations of building materials/volunteer services are encouraged so that The Coach House can be restored and P.A.T.H.S can continue to promote human services awareness through the Lowcountry. 

Thank You in advanced for every prayer, volunteer, and blessing you all provide to help us get the Coach House back on track.
