In 2010 more than 10,820 students were homeless,
and 685 students were homeless in Horry County.

The intent of this program is to provide educational, informational, and prevention support for runaway, homeless, street youth in order to reduce the daily risks for these youth and to convince and assist as many as possible to utilize the available community services to leave the street for a more productive, safe life. 400+ homeless youth per year access this facility. 200 local youth participate in runaway prevention programs.

THIS PROGRAM CAN OFFER • Travel Kit: Backpack with toiletries, watch, disposable camera, journal, pen, phone card, or other necessities • Wallet Assembly: ID card (recognized by local law enforcement), program literature, and local service agency information • Personal Services: Showers, clothing, food, laundry facilities, contact with family, and referrals to local service agencies • Food vouchers available at Ocean Boulevard hotels for youth to receive food boxes from center. • Individual counseling • Assist with medical, dental referrals • Assistance with obtaining birth certificates and I.D.s required by law • Help with new location. Street Outreach is looking for a new home. If you own a building (at least 2,000 to 3,000 sq feet) that can be rented at a VERY reasonable rate, please contact Christina B. Jackson at 843-399-4045.

"This program will not abet street life…
but will offer services that may reduce the risks that life on the street ultimately carries."

Halloween Decorating Contest

Sea Haven, Inc. programs, Shelter Home, Transitional Living program, and Project Lighthouse/Street Outreach Center, held a second “Halloween” themed competition on Thursday, October 27, 2011.  The event was created as an ongoing effort to promote staff morale and motivate youth participation.  Scary music, ghosts, goblins, cobwebs, and spiders hung from every corner of Sea Haven’s domains. 

Jodi Taylor and Ann Wilcocks from BB&T on Main Street, North Myrtle Beach were asked to judge the spooky competition.  The Sea Haven Shelter Home was announced the “2011 Halloween Decoration Contest”winner.  For more information about Sea Haven please call (843) 399-4045…if you dare!
