A Peaceful Setting Designed for Growth

The Goose Creek property offers a quiet, residential environment ideal for stability and personal development. The main home and guest house create natural separation for small peer groups, giving residents the ability to build connections while maintaining the space needed for accountability and reflection.

Features of the new residence include:

  • A main house and a fully equipped guest house
  • Comfortable shared bedrooms and community living areas
  • On-site laundry and essential household amenities
  • Proximity to employers, transportation, and support services
  • A peaceful neighborhood that promotes structure and routine

Just like all Lantern Residences homes, this property is built around dignity, safety, and community standards that support long-term success.

Expanding Capacity to Meet Community Need

With this opening, Lantern Residences now serves even more individuals seeking a stable, recovery-focused living environment. Demand for safe transitional housing continues to rise across the region — especially for programs that pair housing with case management, employment support, family engagement opportunities, and evidence-based recovery practices.

This Goose Creek expansion helps us:

  • Increase our total bed count
  • Provide more access points for community partners referring clients
  • Reduce barriers to stable housing for individuals exiting treatment, homelessness, or incarceration
  • Strengthen the continuum of care across Charleston, North Charleston, Summerville, and now Goose Creek

As we move into 2026, this house will play a key role in Lantern’s broader growth strategy and our commitment to creating sustainable, scalable models of transitional housing.

A Place Where Residents Can Rebuild Their Lives

Every Lantern property is more than just a house — it’s a community. Residents at the Goose Creek location will benefit from:

  • Case management support for navigating benefits, employment, and life skills
  • Peer support and weekly recovery meetings
  • Access to Lantern Pathways Family Program for families seeking education and connection
  • A structured environment that encourages accountability and personal growth
  • Opportunities to transition to independence with stronger foundations in place

Our mission has always been to walk alongside individuals as they rebuild their lives — and this new home helps us extend that commitment to more people than ever before.

Looking Ahead

As Lantern Residences continues to expand throughout the Lowcountry and into new markets across the Southeast and Midwest, the Goose Creek property represents the impact that thoughtful, mission-driven growth can make. Each new residence increases our ability to serve, support, and uplift individuals on their recovery journey.

We’re excited to welcome our first residents into this home and grateful for the partners, community members, and supporters who make our work possible.

A new house means new beginnings — and we’re just getting started.
