Housing

Housing - At least 12,000 low-income South Carolinians diagnosed as mentally ill are in need of housing in South Carolina. To meet this need, MHASC created Turnkey Housing Corp., an arm of the organization that develops housing, especially in rural areas. The housing staff works with the local community to design housing that best fits the needs of consumers and may use federal, state and private funding sources for construction. MHASC and its affiliates are the single largest non-profit sponsoring housing for the psychiatrically disabled in South Carolina.

Since 1990, MHASC and its affiliates have sponsored many housing units. Click on any county below to view information on housing in that area.

The KIVA Lodge provides a group home for five residents with persistent severe mental illness. This group home provides structured independent living with medication monitoring, group and individual therapy, and ongoing support to ensure successful living in a community environment. The KIVA apartments provide eight residents with moderately supervised living with access to medication monitoring, individual support services and staff on call 24 hours per day. These two programs provide the clinical services needed to help someone prepare for the next stage of living in a community setting. The KIVA program is a partnership between the South Carolina Department of Mental Health, and the Columbia Area Mental Health Center. This type of project will bring new hope for people who are severely mentally ill in that they may overcome obstacles in living in the community by this transitional process.
