January 3, 2024
Richland One families who are financially struggling and/or facing problems with their homes can receive free assistance.
In partnership with the Columbia Branch of the NAACP, the district will hold five free housing clinics from January through May. Families can get guidance on habitability issues such as mold and broken fixtures, illegal evictions, utility assistance, public benefits and more.
