Real Progress. Measurable Impact.

The Standing Together – Restoring Hope campaign is more than a vision — it represents measurable progress toward a clearly defined goal.

As of today, the campaign is 95.3% funded, reflecting strong community commitment to expanding Augusta’s capacity to serve neighbors in crisis.

More than $14.9 million has been raised toward our $15.7 million goal.

Campaign funds are intentionally structured to ensure both completion and sustainability.

Capital funding completes construction and facility development.

Endowment funding secures long-term operational stability — sustaining staffing, maintenance, and program quality for years to come.

Together, these investments ensure the new Center of Hope is not only built — but built to endure.

FAQs

  • 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:

    • 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.
