Shelter Groundbreaking!
Several people from Urban Peak, McDermott Architecture, and C&D Construction gathered to break ground for the UP Shelter Expansion.

With the expansion, Urban Peak plans to serve an additional 150 youth per year through day services, add intake and crisis management offices; increase space in GED classroom and storage area, increase common living area by 395 square feet, and take steps as an agency towards a disaster preparedness plan.
