We do not own the building the men’s center currently resides on.
To ensure that we will remain in Summerville and Dorchester County as long as there is a need for our services in the community, we have begun a long-term plan to move our centers to Miles Jamison Road starting with our men’s center as the first step.
While we have been allocated some money from the county it will not be enough to build this new center. We can only accomplish this with your help! We are launching a multi-phase capital campaign to help us build our services to meet the great need of the unhoused. We urge you to join us as we build our future!
Prior to their residency at the center, all prospective guests are required to adhere to the following regulations:
- Commit to seeking full-time employment during their stay at the center and actively strive towards both short-term and long-term objectives.
- Collaborate with the center’s personnel to establish personalized objectives aimed at fostering independence, and diligently work towards accomplishing these goals.
- Successfully pass a thorough background check conducted by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). Additionally, due to the proximity of our centers to places of worship and educational institutions, individuals with a history of sex offense charges are ineligible for residency. Furthermore, our centers are not equipped to accommodate guests with severe mental health diagnoses.
- Maintain sobriety from alcohol and drugs throughout their tenure at the centers.
These regulations are established to ensure the safety, welfare, and success of all residents within our centers. Adherence to these rules is paramount to fostering an environment conducive to personal growth, empowerment, and positive community engagement.
