At Lantern Residences, we’re driven by a mission to provide a safe, stable environment for those who need it most. As we prepare to open our doors to support individuals recovering from addiction, recently released from incarceration, or navigating mental health challenges, we recognize that the strength of our mission lies in collaboration with our community.
Charleston is home to countless community groups, nonprofits, and initiatives dedicated to uplifting vulnerable populations. Together, we can create a network of hope and resources that ensures no one falls through the cracks. If you or your organization is working to support individuals facing barriers to housing, employment, or mental health services, we want to connect with you.
Who We’re Looking to Partner With
- Addiction Recovery Groups: Programs focused on substance use treatment, prevention, or support.
- Reentry Programs: Organizations helping individuals transition from incarceration to community life.
- Mental Health Advocates: Groups providing counseling, support, or other mental health resources.
- Faith-Based Initiatives: Churches or other faith organizations with outreach programs for at-risk individuals.
- Grassroots Community Groups: Those who know the heartbeat of Charleston’s underserved populations.
Why Partner with Lantern Residences?
By pooling our collective knowledge, resources, and passion, we can amplify our impact. Lantern Residences will offer transitional housing for those on the path to stability, and we’re committed to providing wraparound support, including connections to jobs, counseling, and skill-building programs. But we can’t do it alone.
Our goal is to create a network of resources to ensure residents have access to every opportunity they need to thrive. By partnering with local organizations, we can share referrals, expand outreach, and create a community safety net that lifts everyone up.
