HomeAid Celebrates Completion of Capstone Project for Children’s Receiving Home
March 19, 2009
Dedication ceremony marks the completion of the campus redevelopment for agency serving area’s most vulnerable population
ROSEVILLE, CA &ndash On Thursday, March 19, representatives of HomeAid Sacramento, the Children’s Receiving Home, the North State Building Industry Association, and invited guests will celebrate the completion of construction on a multi-purpose room for the local community based non-profit which serves abused and neglected children in the Sacramento region. Project partners, community leaders, and elected officials will help celebrate this occasion at a special dedication ceremony. The program will begin at 5:30 p.m. and take place on the Children’s Receiving Home campus at 3555 Auburn Blvd., in Sacramento.
&ldquo This project demonstrates HomeAid at its best and to be able to partner with them and the Children’s Receiving Home to complete the Capstone project is a true honor,&rdquo said Kevin Carson, chair of HomeAid Sacramento. &ldquo We are so fortunate to work in an industry where we can truly make a difference in people’s lives.&rdquo
As the builder captain of this project, Kevin and his team of dedicated professionals oversaw and managed the day-to-day operations of the construction process and worked with local trade partners to complete this project.
&ldquo The children we serve at the Children’s Receiving Home are forced to face some of life’s toughest challenges,&rdquo said Dave Ballard, CEO of the Children’s Receiving Home. &ldquo HomeAid and the homebuilding community have gone above and beyond to ensure that these kids have safe shelter and housing where they can get the care and services they need. The Capstone project is yet another example of the homebuilding industry’s commitment to our community and our children.&rdquo
This project marks the third construction project HomeAid has taken on for the 64 year-old service provider. The previous projects included two residential cottages where at-risk children in need are given shelter and comfort. Both cottages allowed the Children’s Receiving Home to double the number of residents they were able to serve.
The completion of the multi-purpose building will provide a youth-friendly recreation room, allowing staff to work with older children and help them focus on job applications, cooking skills, and other social skills that will help them prepare for emancipation once they turn 18.
HomeAid, whose mission is to build and maintain dignified housing where homeless families and individuals can rebuild their lives, matches the construction and facility needs of local service providers with the talents of the local building community.
Since 1944, the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento has served more than 1,500 abused and neglected children each year providing housing during their most difficult times.
