Programs:

The Beaufort County Human Services Department pursues its mission to strengthen community wellbeing through a range of collaborative initiatives. Two of our primary programs—REACH and CONNECT—are designed to meet people where they are, respond to complex needs, and ensure every individual and family has the opportunity to thrive. Learn more about how we work alongside residents and partners to build a more resilient, connected community.

• REACH connects with individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Beaufort County through compassionate outreach and relationship-based engagement. Rather than providing services directly, our role is to build trust, connect people to available community resources, and advocate for access to opportunities like housing, healthcare, and personal stability. When existing systems fall short, we collaborate with regional partners to identify creative solutions, close service gaps, and ensure that no one is overlooked. REACH meets people where they are—and stands with them as they take steps toward the future they choose.

• CONNECT helps individuals and families navigate complex life challenges by coordinating services across the human services network. There’s no wrong door—whether you’re seeking help for yourself or referring someone else, CONNECT provides personalized support, holistic assessments, and collaborative planning to ensure no one falls through the cracks.
