New Life Interim Housing Renovation Project

At New Life Interim Housing we have met many wonderful mothers who have gone through difficult times to keep their children safe, even experiencing hunger and homelessness. Your generous contributions and volunteer help has brought relief and safety to thousands of families over New Life’s 20 years. Because of your dedication to New Life, we want to share with you the exciting news that the New Life building will be completely renovated beginning mid-summer 2021 through a grant opportunity from Design 4 Dignity.

Why is now the best time for renovation?

As you know, the New Life Shelter has helped thousands of families – primarily women and children – since it opened in 1991. Last year alone during a pandemic with limited capacity, the New Life Shelter was able to serve 683 females, 57 males, 311 children – 1051 people total. We have all watched the news with concern over the many hardships people have faced over this last year and a half. And it’s not going to ease up soon. Here is a way you make a difference, as a partner in this ministry. This will be New Life’s first “full scale” renovation and you are invited to be a part of it.

What this means for families struggling with homelessness

The new space will include:

• A brand new facility, from pipes for plumbing to upgraded building standards

• New double door secure entrance

• Completely upgraded separate family bathrooms

• New counseling, training and computer space

• New playroom for kids with viewing space adjacent

• Fully renovated kitchen with island and lounging area

• New beds, dining tables and furniture throughout

• New mental health counseling program will be piloted

• Air conditioning and upgrading of all mechanical systems

This renovation will provide a safe and healthy facility for families in transition. Comfortable sleeping areas away from public areas with homey comfort. Computer and counseling areas to work on the next important steps in their lives as they move toward more permanent housing.

We need your help!

This is an amazing opportunity for Good News Partners and we are reaching out to our community partners for support. We are almost there! Because of you, we received around $100,000 more but the price of materials keeps going up due to COVID. We have taken out a loan to finance the rest of our project but still need around $300,000 to cover our debt. We appreciate the continued support from our community.
