A home as the foundation
Our mission is to offer a stable living environment where people can rebuild their lives with dignity. We support men recovering from addiction, facing housing insecurity, or transitioning from incarceration through sober housing, life skills, and community.
That means helping residents with the practical work of rebuilding: finding employment, coordinating appointments, managing money, and preparing for independent living.
Why Lantern exists
St. Johns House and Randolph Community are SCARR-certified recovery residences. Lantern is listed in the South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences directory. Certification relates to recovery housing; Lantern does not provide clinical treatment.
Lantern brings together recovery support and housing to help residents build stability and work toward a life of their own.
Our homes serve North Charleston and Summerville.
