Housing Development

The Just Home Project is a new grant initiative led by the MacArthur Foundation with support from the Urban Institute. The purpose of the Just Home Project is to fund innovative solutions to help close the revolving door between incarceration and homelessness, as well as address the racially disparate footprint that the criminal justice system has on our community. Charleston County is one of four jurisdictions in the nation to be selected to receive a planning grant for this project. Other selected sites include Minnehaha County, SD, City and County of San Francisco, CA, and Tulsa County, OK. At the completion of the planning process, each community is eligible to receive additional grant dollars and program-related investments from MacArthur to establish housing and fund supportive services for populations that are not being served by existing resources.
