It’s official. We have moved into the Lexington Hotel. We have moved people living on our
Transitional Shelter at Frances Opportunity Center to the ground floor of the
Lexington Hotel. And, former residents
of the Lexington Hotel have been moved back to their place of residence.
CARE 66
administration offices have moved to the basement of the GJU building. We will be there for the next 18 months until
our new offices, which will be part of the Hooghan Hozho’ development, are
completed on Strong Drive, which we hope will be sooner.
The
Lexington Hotel is a labor of love and we could not have done it without your
support. Together with locally raised
funds we leveraged monies from the State Legislature, HUD, ARRA, Navajo Housing
Authority, and private foundations. We
are very grateful to each of these funders and we look forward to working with
them on future projects.
Rhonda Berg,
Peter Tarutis and Carl Smith have worked very hard to complete this
project. Please congratulate them when
you see them.
Many years
ago it was our dream to provide a place where people could transition from
homelessness to a home of their own while still having access to support
services. We now move onto the next
phase of this dream. Naturally, there
will be bugs to be worked out and new challenges to be faced.
Until
next month stay well and do good!
