COLUMBIA — Mary Grantham, 19, found herself homeless this past summer.  Having no where to go, she took refuge in Columbia’s only transitional living center for teens, Sol House.  Having spent the last two months in Sol House, Mary is hopeful for the future and saving money to get her own place.  The staff at Sol House helped her get a job through the Next Generation’s Jobs Team.
