Your contribution now will help us in defraying the costs associated with acquiring and the renovation/construction of Our New Campus at 859 East Vista Way.

Our goal is to raise $1.4 million by January 2013, in order to purchase the old medical office buildings and former community clinic office space for conversion into emergency homeless client and support staff use.

Renovations begin during October, so your donations now are even more time sensitive as we move forward in providing a warm, safe and secure HOPE for the homeless.
