Community Facility Lending In Action
Lowcountry Veterans Home
Lowcountry Veterans Home, a transitional housing program for veterans in Johns Island, South Carolina, was established by Leslie Jackson, Executive Director of Senior Housing and Resource Management (SHRM), to provide safe shelter and life skills training for homeless veterans. Funded in part by a $99,500 community facilities loan from SCCLF, the home accommodates 15 veterans enrolled in a 90-day program to secure workforce placement. Emphasizing the program’s long-term impact, Jackson stated, “The life tools these veterans learned at our home are things that can teach their families for generations.”
