Welcome to Christ City of Refuge Transitional Housing
Our Mission
Christ City of Refuge is a Christian, work-based nonprofit that provides rent-free transitional housing, empowering individuals to save money, rebuild stability, and move toward independence.
We foster a supportive environment for those ready to get back on their feet.
Residential Program
Christ City of Refuge has guidelines designed to protect the integrity of the program and maintain our property. Participation in the residential program requires the ability and willingness to work. Once employed, each resident is required to save $200 per week with the program, which will be returned upon departure to help secure stable housing. Residents are also expected to assist with maintaining the grounds as part of their commitment to the community. Both current and former residents remain a valued part of our community, staying connected with program team leaders and our faith family.
Addiction Services
Another service we provide is transportation for individuals battling addiction to drug or alcohol detox and rehabilitation facilities. Upon successfully completing a rehabilitation program, individuals may begin the admissions process for our residential program if they choose. Having the opportunity to transition into a safe, supportive environment - rather than returning to the same challenges they faced before - has greatly increased the success rate of our residents.
Our Facility
Our facility is nestled in a peaceful residential neighborhood in Hartsville, SC, and is designed to create a comfortable, welcoming environment for our residents. The property features modern amenities, including private single cabins, a communal area with a full kitchen and living room, laundry facilities, and bath houses. Beautiful outdoor spaces with a countryside view and a serene pond provide a campground-style setting where residents can relax, reflect, and connect with nature.
Our Staff
Our staff is made up of experienced, caring, and compassionate professionals who are dedicated to helping our clients achieve a fresh start. We provide 24/7 support and care, and work closely with each resident to ensure that they are making progress towards their goals.
Church Services
The Executive Director Jimmy Johnson also provides church services every Sunday morning at Zion Assembly and also welcomes you to come worship with us.
