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!
