The Midlands Area Consortium for the Homeless (MACH) strives to end homelessness by making a difference in the lives of people who are experiencing homelessness.  The MACH, a 501c3 non-profit, was founded in 1994.  The MACH serves the counties of Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster, Lexington, Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland, and York. 

The MACH is comprised of over 60 agencies and is led by a Board of Directors.  The MACH addresses homelessness by promoting collaboration and planning among state and local governments, corporate and non-profit organizations, and faith-based entities that support individuals and families in their quest to move from homelessness to housing.

The MACH provides resources for information sharing and advocacy.  MACH member agencies provide a variety of services including: emergency, transitional, and permanent housing, supportive services, legal services, job training, transportation, medical and dental care, substance abuse and mental health programs, child care, and rent and utility assistance.
