"My hope for Paths To Wholeness lies in its ability to help incarcerated women who have been abused become self-sufficient citizens while reducing recidivism. Through the love of God and the support of my community, I am a survivor of domestic abuse. My aspiration is that each woman in our program will experience the same love and support," she said.
Reverend Anderson and the Board of Directors have plans to partner with other community programs, as well as, SC Works and other state-funded platforms to ensure the fruition of this home.

There is a high demand for transitional housing for women specifically in the Orangeburg, South Carolina area, as there is currently no female transition home. An unprecedented number of prison releases have occurred in 2020 due to the spread of Covid-19. Many of these formerly incarcerated individuals were without housing due to the economic state and limited job availability, crime did increase in many South Carolina localities.
Our mission is to effectively assist formerly incarcerated women with a preventive program for sustainable re-entry into the community through personal and professional development, as well as interventive and supportive programs and services.
