Last night's board meeting was exciting in that it was the culmination of a lot of hard work and powerful conversations over the last three months. Agape Village board membership toured the building and provided an assessment. We had deliberated with the owner. We have now submitted a lease agreement to take ownership of one of the buildings at the Gil Carter Institute! This location will serve to both provide transitional housing for our local Veterans community along with local community support!
If Agape Village's board and the Gil Carter Institute sees the lease agreement as a viable financial opportunity, we look to create a future for our local homeless Veterans community so that they get to be an integral part of our community!
In our vision, we see opportunities to establish trust and continue to build relationships with our Veterans that we get to serve and provide them with a road map for their recovery and their affordable housing. There is still a lot of work to be done. We will continue to work on garnering community support and trust and partners for our programs. We do have huge fundraising goals towards operating expenses and for our programs.
