Housing is an important part of supporting those who serve our community.

LENS IOP is proud to launch a three-part Affordable Housing Initiative designed to support Isle of Palms first responders through stop-gap housing, flexible rent support, and a pathway to homeownership.

This initiative is made possible through partnerships with South Carolina Lutheran Retreat Centers, Flex, and Huntington Bank.

Because supporting those who serve our community means helping them live, work, and build a future here.
