The Mission is seeking funds to purchase a building at 710 W. 4th Street. The purchase price of this building is $350,000. If purchased now, it would be available to provide services by October 2023! This building would allow us to provide additional emergency shelter this winter. 100+ added individuals could be sheltered this winter, above the 120 that can be sheltered for emergency warming shelter at the current shelter located at 728 W. 4th Street This building would become a campus like environment that we would name the PRM Lighthouse Campus.
