Our current shelter was not designed as a purpose-built facility and limits our ability to provide safe, structured, and effective care. Renovation would not resolve core challenges related to layout, intake, security, and service delivery.

The new Center of Hope is intentionally designed to improve safety, streamline services, and create defined spaces for families with children, women, and men — allowing for more effective pathways to stability.

Success means more than increased capacity.

It means:

• More families staying together during crisis

• Greater access to structured casework

• Improved safety and accountability

• Stronger transitions into permanent housing

The goal is not simply to shelter more people — but to support more people toward lasting stability.

The campaign includes both capital and endowment funding.

Capital completes construction.
Endowment provides ongoing financial stability — helping sustain staffing, maintenance, and program quality.

This dual approach ensures the new Center of Hope opens strong and remains strong for generations.

Yes.

The final phase of any campaign is critical. Completing both the capital and endowment goals ensures the new Center of Hope opens fully funded and financially stable.

Every gift helps close the remaining gap and strengthens long-term sustainability.
