About the Project

By 2012, with some adaptive reuse of existing space, the bed count at the Men’s Facility had risen to over 180 with no physical improvements. The proposed expansion of existing facilities along with the new stand-alone Residential Building will increase that overall bed capacity to 310. Support services such as educational and food service spaces will also be increased proportionately as will storage for in-kind giving in a new 7000 square-foot facility also on campus; another long overdue need. This increase in square footage will serve the community for decades to come. Also planned is a family and community outpatient outreach services facility to complement those related services already provided for the homeless community. A new Family and Community Resource Center is proposed that will provide a number of needed services, many of which will be provided by staff already conveniently located on-site. This two-level 33,500 ft.² building will house a needed expansion of administrative space for the overall campus. It will also include a series of multi-purpose meeting and classroom facilities intended to provide training and seminar space for substance use related issues. A small coffee shop for those in recovery or those sharing substance use concerns will provide another form of informal meeting space. A significant private Family Counseling Center for outpatient use rounds out the services offered to our community in this proposed project.
