About the Samaritan House

The Samaritan House was established in 2001 in response to a great need in the Orangeburg area, as was evident by the use of a “shelter” that existed under deplorable conditions.  After being closed for four years, The Samaritan House reopened in September 2020, under the guidance of the Board of Directors and the direction of Henry Miller, Executive Director.

While the vision of The Samaritan House leadership is that everyone has a safe place to live, we recognize that Orangeburg and The Samaritan House will need to work with determination and diligence to bring that vision to reality.

As the county grows, so does the population of people who need affordable living options.  The Samaritan House stands ready to welcome as many as they can and will continue to work with others to seek solutions for the growing need.  The shelter has a current capacity of 40 residents, including men, women, and their children.
