A master-planned community on 70 acres in Trenton, South Carolina, beginning with a 10-acre Phase 1. Housing, wellness, workforce development, and recovery, positioned minutes from the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center.
For too many veterans, the return to civilian life means instability, isolation, and a system that's hard to navigate alone. The South Carolina Veteran Village exists to close that gap by pairing community-based life support with the clinical care the VA already provides.
This is the Foundation's proof-of-concept project and first major housing initiative: the first campus of a larger veteran-support ecosystem, and the model we intend to carry to other communities.
The campus sits roughly 20 minutes from the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia. That proximity is the cornerstone of our approach: the VA delivers clinical care, while The Second Tour provides the community-based life support around it: housing, peer connection, daily structure, and a path forward. Two campuses, one continuum of care.
A community this meaningful is built deliberately, milestone by milestone, with site control and stewardship at every step.
Six to ten modern prefab homes on the initial acreage, with wide single-storey designs and deep covered porches. The lake anchors the campus as a central therapeutic feature.
Wellness, peer-support, and workforce-development facilities phased in across the master-plan area over a ten-year horizon.
A complete veteran village with housing, recovery programming, green space, and the lake at its heart. A permanent place to land.
Walk the campus before it's built. This interactive plan shows how the 70-acre vision comes together: the homes, the lake, the shared spaces, and how Phase 1 fits within the whole.
