This center also doubles their capacity to house single women and homeless families with an additional 24 residential units.

It’s all part of a $20 million project that’s fully funded by donations, State of Florida Department of Children and Families, Pasco County Commissioners, Florida Community Loan Fund, Chase New Markets Corporation, The Reinvestment Fund, Inc., and Chase Community Equity, LLC.

The next phase of the project includes building a new Early Childhood Education Center.

That center will include 10 classrooms to help children who have experienced trauma. Metro says their CREATE (Children’s Recreational, Education, Arts, and Therapeutic Experience) program will help these children and will be open to campus residents and families in the surrounding community.  

Today’s ribbon cutting and groundbreaking ceremony was set for 9:30 a.m. in Holiday.
