Despite the radical transformations to daily life brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are making tremendous progress at 1735 North Ashland, the future home of The Crib overnight shelter and our Health Outreach Program and home office. Construction is moving at a rapid pace, and we expect to be completed in the next few weeks! The photos below show just how close we are to being finished.

The entrances for the administrative offices and The Crib will both be on the north side of the building.

The Crib will have a fully functioning kitchen, allowing for meals to be prepared onsite.

The communicating stairwell between the second and third floors will connect staff from different teams.

The conference and training room will accommodate all-staff meetings as well as volunteer orientations.

Huddle rooms on the second and third floors will provide spaces for staff to meet with their colleagues.

The building will bring much needed space and facility improvements to The Crib, creating a better experience for guests and staff. 1735 North Ashland will also have parking for the Health Outreach Buses, improved storage facilities, and upgraded technology.

As so much is in flux these days, we cannot at this point provide a move-in date. However, you hope to provide with an update as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
