Project Features:Women’s Shelter This will be the region’s first barrier-free emergency shelter for women that provides immediate stability and a space to begin to heal from the trauma of the streets. It will be paired with top-tier, 24/7 case management, with a shelter that provides a necessary baseline to rebuild a stable life. Day Plaza 25,000sf of world-class park space created specifically as a respite from the street. The Plaza welcomes everyone by providing a place to relax while offering close proximity to professional care and coordinated entry into the Continuum of Care. Hospitality Hub As the region’s single point of entry for homeless individuals, the HUB assesses their individual needs and connects them with stabilizing resources. Hub Outreach, Work Local (jobs), shelter, benefits, identification, and extensive case management will operate from this central point and allow for expanded services. Hub Plaza Sacred Spaces These green spaces designed by Nature Scared in conversation with HUB staff, HUB clients, and HUB partners are meant to foster mindful reflection, respite, and renewal. Each Sacred Space is intended to reconnect people with nature and follow four core principles of being open, sacred, nearby, and community-led. The HUB Campus will contain three Sacred Spaces: a Plaza Park between the main campus and the outdoor patio deck, a Staff Courtyard, and a Women’s Courtyard.
