Pendleton Place offers programs that protect, equip and heal children, youth, and families affected by foster care, homelessness, poverty, and trauma. We strengthen children while rebuilding families because it's our goal for each child to have a stable home environment and a bright future.
In Fiscal Year 2023, Pendleton Place served 223 families and 254 individual clients. We offered 12,342 meals and 5,725 nights of care to youth in our foster care group home and emergency homeless shelter specifically for youth aged 12-21. Our teenagers residing in our group foster care home, Smith House, received 239 hours of group therapy, along with 254 hours of academic and tutoring instruction, 153 hours of driver instruction, 56 hours of career readiness and 46 hours of financial literacy. Our youth homelessness services also included drop-in hours for basic needs, with over 2,300 services provided (showers, laundry, meals). We also invested more than $110,000 in supported housing, with 100% of our youth exiting homelessness maintaining permanent housing.
With nearly 50 years of service in the Greenville community, Pendleton Place is well equipped to support and serve vulnerable children and families through each of our programs:
The Assessment Center/Family Resource Center provides comprehensive family strengthening services like kinship caregiver support and navigation, family mediation, developmental screenings for children aged 0-5, and evidence-based caregiving classes for families of children aged 6-18.
Smith House offers a home for up to 10 teenagers in foster care, focused on independent living skills. Our Smith House Alumni Cottage helps three former Smith House residents transition to adulthood in a structured environment.
Our youth homelessness services include drop-in hours for basic needs, an emergency youth homeless shelter, a transitional living program, and HUD housing programs.
