Volunteers from Belmont Hill School in Belmont, Massachusetts on a volunteer build day outfitting the
Everhart Village sleeping cabins earlier this year
It's been two years since we first started discussing the concept of Everhart Village with the county, and thanks to the overwhelming support from the community, it's almost a reality! Construction is now well underway at the site, and we're planning to have the first residents move in by January of next year. However, construction and materials costs have increased significantly over the past two years since we first started planning this project, and we find ourselves with a shortfall in funds. We're asking you to help make up the difference and donate today to our "Final Stretch" GoFundMe campaign for Everhart Village.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 in three weeks by October 31st. We know that many of you are under tight budgets, and we're not asking you to give more than what you can. But if you can donate, we would GREATLY appreciate you making that gift today since that will create momentum that will encourage others to take that step and make a donation.
Today is also World Homeless Day, an international awareness day to draw attention to the needs of people who experience homelessness locally, to provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness, and to end homelessness through improved policy and funding. We are so humbled to be part of a project that creates a solution to homelessness, and we hope you'll recognize the importance of this project for the residents who will find shelter there.
You can read more about Everhart Village and the history of its development on our website. It's been enormously gratifying to have you with us on this journey as we've brought the project from an idea to a project under construction. We would very much appreciate your generous gift today so the first Behavioral Health clients can move in as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your support!
