Our mission is to transform more hearts and lives in Charleston, together.

Hundreds of people in our community are without a home every night

…and this number is growing at 25% annually, according to the Lowcountry Continuum of Care.

We can change that together.

Morning Light

Star Gospel Mission’s Morning Light Program is a Christ-centered initiative serving women and children experiencing homelessness with a holistic, trauma-informed approach. It provides safe housing, spiritual guidance, and practical tools for stability. With compassionate care that promotes healing, strengthens families, and restores dignity, participants gain life-skills, discipleship, and community support to move from crisis to confidence in Christ.

Expand The Meeting Street Transitional Housing Campus

In addition to being our programmatic headquarters, we also plan to expand our men's transitional housing program located here from our current 30 spaces into a 90-bed comprehensive program for men facing homelessness.

Develop Our RISA (Recovery and Intervention from Substance Abuse) Program

16 beds will be dedicated to further develop a substance abuse intervention program for recovery from drug and alcohol abuse.

The RISA program will be free of charge, lasts 6-12 months, and includes recovery classes, community integration, individualized recovery plans, and work therapy. RISA will most likely start at our Meeting Street campus, and eventually transition to an off-site property in a more rural setting away from the distractions of downtown Charleston.
