Charleston Builds Senior Housing

Charleston just poured two million into kickstarting the Poinsette Apartments—a $33 million senior-focused housing project on Lee Street, across from the MLK Jr. Pool. Designed by the Humanities Foundation, it’ll deliver 88 units, 66 of them affordable for seniors over 55, plus 20 with project-based vouchers for fixed-income residents. Beyond shelter, the project includes health and social support tailored for older adults—a vital need in a city with few such options. Five units are also reserved for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, funded federally. Groundbreaking is imminent, with completion targeted for 2027, advancing Charleston’s goal of 3,500 new homes by 2032—especially for seniors downtown.
