The Keys to Change mission is to provide a safe environment, support services, and an avenue to independence for those in a housing crisis. This funding will allow the organization to continue to further its mission and serve our community

The organization is grateful to the SC State delegates, Dorchester County Government, and the Town of Summerville Mayor and Council for the funds to construct a new men’s center.

"Owning our building is crucial for Keys to Changes to provide consistent and reliable services in Dorchester County,” Ginny Vicini, Executive Director, explained. “With a permanent space, we can ensure that our programs and resources are always accessible to those in need, allowing us to create a stable and supportive environment where individuals  can rebuild their lives and thrive."

However, it should be stressed that this funding does not cover the administrative costs of running the organization or implementing programs. That’s where the community comes in. 

"Tackling homelessness in Dorchester County requires the collective effort of our entire community,” Vicini said.
