What gets me excited? The dream of a new place for the families we serve. Adams Square Family Center is TRM’s new project that will replace our aging Family Shelter. Right now we have 12 family rooms in our shelter. This new project will allow 36 families to get the housing and supportive services they need to stabilize their lives. It will include a learning center, a family new life program for parents struggling with addiction, and an activity center for the children. Our great architects, Kent McLaren and the folks at BCRA produced this computer generated aerial view of what the new building will look like. I posted this video on YouTube. You can search for it under Adams Square – Tacoma Rescue Mission, or just click on the link below. DC “>”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0FP6MX3RwM”
The video for Adam’s Square is impressive. Any ideas yet on what the inside layout will look like?
Thank you God! It’s heart breaking to know that there are families living in cars, on the streets and anywhere else they can find in this city! Tacoma is desperately in need of emergency shelter for families, I’m so greatful to see TRM taking such bold steps to provide for the youngest victims of homelessness. I can’t imagine how distressing it would be to seek shelter for my children and hear the word, ‘I’m sorry but we don’t have any room.’ God bless each and every staff member who works so diligently to provide for the lost, the lonely and the forgotten!
