By retrofitting the existing Scott building, CCSS will be able to open an expanded warming center for the cold months in Michigan. It will provide a safe, warm space for homeless persons, with meals and support services. This will increase capacity by 1\/3 and provide a place for volunteer groups to stay in the summer months.<\/p>\n

Michigan winters can be long, brutally cold, and snowy. Imagine how you might deal with those conditions if you were homeless. It would be an ongoing struggle to find shelter and warmth. If you are part of a family that is without a home, your desperation would be extreme. It could literally be a matter of survival for you and your children.<\/p>\n

That is why CCSS provides a warming center. Funded to shelter 40 people, the Cass Warming Center served as many as double that nightly number in two bedrooms. In 2023, 104 adults and 82 children relied on the program for food, showers, laundry, assistance with securing housing, transporation, employment, as well as medical and mental health help, but there was little privacy.<\/p>\n

To meet this challenge, the campaign will raise $3.4 million to provide better space with family bedrooms, for people needing a place to stay.<\/h2>\n

A Permanent Solution<\/p>\n

One of Cass\u2019s properties, the Scott Building, will be retrofitted to become the new Seasons Warming Center. After studying various options that were cost-prohibitive, the Scott Building became the most effective, efficient, and fastest solution to warming center demands.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.4em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Need Has Increased<\/p>\n

In order to do this, significant updating and renovation of the building will be required. Once completed, the Seasons Warming Center will provide 1\/3 more capacity for overnight guests and do so in more segmented areas (instead of one big bullpen). Of course, in addition to shelter, all those served would have access to the many services CCSS provides.<\/p>\n
