One referral. Four very different feelings.

A visual comparison for the same helper task: finding rent help and deciding what to do next. These are proposed directions for discussion, not established research findings.

Shared fixture: SHARE Housing Assistance · Rent help. The Oct 7, 2026 snapshot lists 254 S. Pleasantburg Dr., Greenville, SC 29607 and (864) 269-0700 as verified; this is not a fresh check. Funding, eligibility, hours, and Spanish-language help still need confirmation. The facts below are held constant so the visual treatments can be compared.
