Our new emergency shelter at 35 Spring Street, once the home of Sacred Heart Elementary School, will nearly triple our capacity and enable NSKS to significantly expand services to help clients secure stable housing. The shelter will include a 48-bed family shelter, an 18-bed shelter for single men, a 14-bed shelter for single women, and 11 studio apartment units for permanent, supported housing.<\/p>\n
At 20,000 square feet the building will also accommodate two spacious, flexible classrooms for a wide range of supportive programs for NSKS clients and community members, from HiSET and financial literacy classes to AA meetings. Spaces for onsite health care, child care, and other services will make it possible for NSKS to fully support clients in accessing stable housing.<\/p>\n

NSKS has embarked on an $8.5 million capital campaign to help make the new shelter possible and has raised $7.8 million to date including support from state and local government, Nashua area businesses and foundations, and many generous individuals. In addition, we have been offered a $315,000 1:1 challenge grant with a June 30 deadline, effectively doubling gifts to the Spring Street shelter. This is a wonderful time to join the Nashua community in support of this important project!<\/p>\n
Please consider a gift to help us reach the finish line! There are a variety of ways to support the project, from outright gifts to pledges, which can be fulfilled over three years, and gifts of stock. The building has a wide range of naming opportunities, and all gifts of $5,000 and more will be recognized on a centrally located dedicatory plaque.<\/p>\n
