The Refuge House on Park Street.   

This house was purchased to use for temporary short term transistional housing for 1 night to a maximum

of 30 days for homeless families.  Much repair was needed. 

 

Progress being made on the first work day!!

First work day:  NEW WINDOWS

Second Work Day- New porch and steps

Rotted sills and floor joists in bathroom had to be replaced

This bath was a total demoliton to the dirt.

Much needed storage going in.  New linen closet in rear can be opened in laundry room and bathroom.

Additional storage cabinet for other supplies.

Lowes at Concord Mills donated all of the bathroom supplies from floor to ceiling except the vanity, sink and faucet which were donated from a neighbor and Centerview Community Crime Watch member

Vinyl trailer under pinning replaced with block foundation  

The kitchen was horrific with only a few small cabinets.

Now we have beautiful oak wood recycled cabinets.

New interior doors and trim in all the rooms

New ceiling tiles in all the house and one coat of primer/paint

Finally we are on a down hill run to the finish line.

We are so blessed with our volunteers, many are the patrons from Operation Homeless, Inc. that we work with every day teaching them new skills to broaden their job search areas.

All plumbing pipes in the house and to the water meter have had to be replaced from the original pipes which were completely

rotten and had developed multiple leaks.
