Get StartedReturning citizens in South Carolina face significant challenges that make re-entry after incarceration a daunting and often overwhelming task. Our state’s policy must begin supporting these individuals in facing these challenges, especially when it comes to housing, employment, and finances. By providing a stable home life to returning citizens, we can mitigate the notably higher risk of homelessness among this population and decrease the likelihood of recidivism. Creating employment opportunities will also be integral to aiding returning citizens in re-establishing their lives within society after incarceration. Accordingly, South Carolina policy surrounding the employment of this population must prohibit denial of work opportunities based solely on criminal history. Lastly, we must assist returning citizens in their use of financial tools such as banking accounts and overall budgeting skills so that their income is most effectively utilized toward improving and maintaining their material, physical, and mental well-being.

As more investments enter historic Black communities, state and local governments need to make sure that residents feel their benefit. Investments can help to lift up historically marginalized communities, but not if they aim to replace those already living there. Local and state policy should aim to strengthen the roots of the community in their neighborhoods while checking dangerous, unrestricted growth. State and local policy should not only protect these residents but bolster their economic growth and development. Learn more

South Carolina faces a healthcare crisis, as we are consistently ranked as one of the unhealthiest states in the nation. Hospitals across the state have shuttered in recent years, leaving thousands of South Carolinians stranded from life-saving services. Even for those who still have hospitals operating in their cities and counties, urgent healthcare is out of reach for thousands more as the high cost of healthcare forces people to choose between feeding their families and caring for their well-being. We can help remedy this wrong by expanding Medicare so that seeing a doctor isn’t a luxury few can afford. Community health centers can help deliver medical services to underserved communities across the state. South Carolinians deserve the best healthcare they can get, and no one should be denied the right to good health. Learn more
