The greatest concentration of affordable housing in Canada is found the Downtown Eastside (DTES). This means that people on low fixed incomes are forced to use our shelters. However, rents are high and wait-lists for subsidized housing are long. They come to us from within the city limits of Myrtle Beach either as strays found on the streets by our animal control officers or by Good Samaritans keeping them safe from harm. One priority of Lookout is to help people stay housed in their home communities where they are close to services, families and friends. The primary focus of our new shelter will be to create a happy and healthy temporary residence for the nearly 3000 animals who come through our doors each year.
