Lexington Open House

Gallup Journey Column December 2011

November 2011.  Rehab of the Lexington Hotel will be done by the end of this month.  Hopefully before Christmas.  When completed the Lexington Hotel will provide transitional housing for approximately 15 People (men and women), and low-income housing for 21 people.  It will also house our case managers.  If you want a tour please send me an email.

We are planning some community events in early January for the Lexington Hotel.  Please watch for an announcement for the Grand Opening.

            Hooghan Hozho’ is in planning at this time.   We have received a grant award which we will leverage to develop approximately 45 units along with an Early Childhood Development Center, play areas, space for support services, administration offices and maybe even a coffee shop. We are working out the details so that we can begin construction in the Spring of 2012.

 

            In the meantime we are also working on a couple of different projects of which we will share more with you as time goes by.  Budget cuts to HUD the availability of grant funds which we tend to leverage with other grants and debt.  In short the budget cuts are definitely not helping to get people into housing and jobs.

            We have much to be thankful for as this tough year ends.  We are always short of money but we have had enough to scrape by with.  Being short of money has meant that we will not be completing the patio of the Lexington Hotel among other things.

Until next month stay well and do good!
