Residential Ribbon Cutting! On Tuesday, June 18th we celebrated in style with a ribbon cutting to commemorate the opening of our new Residential Facility on our Project Sunshine campus. This represents a monumental achievement in this massive project. It was the phase that finally brought us all onto one campus, something that has not occurred since 2011 as our programs have previously been split between three facilities. This strategically designed program area will provide high quality residential programs for up to 16 women and their children. Our Youth Maternity Home which serves pregnant, and parenting mothers aged 12-21 and their children, and our Recovery Home which serves mothers aged 18-35 and their children, who are on their journey to recovery from substance use disorders. The unique element of these programs is that children can accompany their mothers to treatment. This ensures that attachment between mother and child is not interrupted, and women can learn how to provide a solid foundation for their children through Florence Crittenton’s community and early childhood programs. As with previous phases of this project, this floor has been a combined effort of business partners, government and state partners, and private donors coming together to complete this beautiful home for our most vulnerable clients. We are hopeful to complete the final fundraising for this floor this fall so we may continue to achieve our goal of a debt-free project.
