A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO MEMORIALIZE THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO ORGANIZE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO USE THE OLD CHARLESTON NAVAL BASE AS A SITE FOR HOUSING FOR HOMELESS PERSONS LOCATED IN THOSE COUNTIES.

Whereas, Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties have seen an increase in the number of homeless persons in the recent months, and Charleston county has one of the highest number of homeless persons in the State; and

Whereas, the winter weather conditions experienced recently makes the high number of homeless persons an urgent concern that must be acted on immediately; and

Whereas, in winter months emergency shelters reach maximum occupancy quickly and leave many homeless persons, including children, out on the streets to endure the harsh conditions. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, respectfully memorialize the South Carolina Congressional Delegation to organize a concerted effort to use the old Charleston Naval Base as a site for housing for homeless persons located in those counties.

Be it further resolved that the Governor and mayors of municipalities located in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties meet to formulate a plan to use the old Charleston Naval Base as a site for housing for homeless persons located in those counties.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this concurrent resolution be forwarded to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation, the Governor, and the mayors of municipalities located in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.
