Safe Harbor — a nonprofit dedicated to helping those who have experienced domestic violence — is getting a new, 45,000-sqft shelter facility at Gordon Street Mill.
Developed by the M Peters Group, the new space will triple Safe Harbor’s capacity, will put all its services under one roof, and will “allow the co-location of partner agencies” that serve clients.
According to CEO of Safe Harbor Danny Varat, the facility will “be the only one of its kind in SC, and one of the few in the United States.”
Local and state organizations supported the shelter with these investments:
- $8 million ($2 million in New Market Tax Credits allocation + a $6 million investment) from TD Bank + TD Community Development Corporation
- $10 million (in New Market Tax Credits allocation) from SC Community Loan Fund
- $6.5 million (in New Market Tax Credits allocation) from The Innovate Fund
Construction on the building should be complete by April 2025. Learn how you can help.
