A S.A.F.E. Tomorrow Starts Today
In April 2025, a devastating fire left our emergency shelter standing — but unusable. Since then, survivors have been housed in hotels — a temporary, costly solution that cannot provide the safety, stability, and healing they deserve.
We are launching the S.A.F.E. Tomorrow Campaign — a focused $250,000 effort to purchase and prepare a new emergency shelter. This is not a long-term capital campaign. It is a short-term, urgent solution to restore safety and stability for survivors in our community.

Shelter Campaign FAQ
Didn’t insurance cover the fire?
Insurance helped cover some immediate costs, but it is not enough to purchase and prepare a new shelter. This campaign fills that urgent gap.
Are you still providing shelter services now?
Yes. Survivors are being housed in hotels for emergency stays, but hotels are expensive and not trauma-informed. We urgently need a permanent, safe, and supportive space.
Is this a long-term capital campaign?
No. This is a short-term, focused campaign to raise $250,000 and open our doors quickly.
