Long-Term Recovery Group
On a quiet road in Pickens County, a family is still living under a tarp-covered roof, waiting for the repairs that will let them sleep through the night without worry. The news trucks left long ago. The headlines moved on. The damage did not.
Recovery does not end when a disaster passes. For many of our neighbors, it is still happening.
The Pickens County Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG) is a cooperative network of local nonprofits, faith communities, government partners, and volunteers working together to help individuals and families recover after disaster. The LTRG helps close the gaps that remain after insurance, personal resources, and available assistance have been exhausted, so no neighbor is left behind as attention shifts elsewhere.
