Team members from HomeAid Houston, Camden Builders and Volunteers of America (VOA) hosted a ceremonial ground breaking last month at a four-acre site that will soon be home to 150 women and children in crisis. HomeAid, a GHBA charity, is partnering with Camden Builders and VOA to construct the 30,000 sq. ft. facility, to be named Restoration Hill. Camden estimates the cost of the project to be $3.2 million.
In addition to providing 150 beds, Restoration Hill will provide child care, classrooms, a clinician’s space, meeting rooms and administrative offices.
Participating in the ceremonial ground breaking were representatives from Camden Builders, VOA National and VOA Houston, the United Way, HomeAid Houston, the GHBA, MASA Studio and a representative from the offices of Mayor Pro-Tem/ Councilman Ed Gonzalez and Senator Mario Gallegos. Parke Patterson, HomeAid Houston president was the emcee. Speakers included Mike Dishberger, GHBA president; Linda O’Black, V.P. of Community Impact, United Way; Steve Hefner, Camden; Nadine Scamp, VOA; and Mark Atkins, A.I.A, Masa Studios. Special guests included Nicole Lovell a VOA graduate who shared her story of addiction, homelessness and recovery; and Reverend John Bowie, Sr. of True Light Missionary Baptist Church. Also on-hand was Cindi Adams, from Grace Fellowship United Methodist Church who inspired guests through song.
“Camden Builders nationwide is committed to helping those less fortunate,” said Hefner. “Teaming with HomeAid and the VOA is a perfect fit for our company. We are looking forward to the day Restoration Hill is completed and can meet the needs of deserving mothers and their children.”
The VOA began in 1896, initially as an offshoot of the Salvation Army. VOA Texas, Inc. has been helping individuals, families and communities to overcome the barriers of poverty and circumstance and to reach their full potential.
