Our House unveiled a rebranded identity Tuesday to go with its previously announced $16 million expansion plans.
Staff, board members and supporters of Our House gathered on the organization’s $16 million dollar expansion site, where homeless and near-homeless community members will soon be able to access more of the wide array of services Our House provides.
The project, scheduled for completion in early 2024, aims to meet the increasing demand for services, Our House officials said.
“This is especially timely as Our House shared that in the past 3 weeks they’ve had to turn away almost 350 individuals searching for housing including over 130 children, close to twice the number of people as they did this time last year,” Our House said in a news release.
The expansion will include:
A 20,000 square foot Family Support Center that will be a new hub of supportive services. In one location, every family member — adults and children — will have coordinated access to case management, education and training, counseling, and primary care to address barriers to exiting homelessness.
