4. Explain the purpose and intent of the proposed development:
The purpose of this development is to provide a unique campus that will look and feel
like a safe haven for people in need our services. The agency's desire is that this
campus will look and feel like a residential area and will have relatively low traffic
generation.
The primary hub of the campus, the counseling and administrative building, will has
the appearance of a residential home. The agency works with people in unplanned
pregnancies making life long decisions about their families as they consider the options
of single parenting, marriage or adoption. A home-like atmosphere provides the
environment to make these decisions from a loving heart and not in an institutional
manner. This building will include counseling and administrative offices, a living room,
kitchen, deck and playground where children can play while staff counsels with the
adults. This building is also used in our services to adoptive families as they come for
education, training and support services.
Walking trails will be incorporated on the property. Some clients we serve find it easier
to speak with a counselor while walking. Trees will be preserved on the property to
enhance the peaceful and safe environment that is desired.
The counseling/admin building will also contain a great room which allows us to run the
outreach program called "The Momma Club." During the fall and spring semesters,
teen parents come with their babies once a week to this mentoring program and receive
a free meal, participate in a teaching about parenthood and faith, and can leave with a
bag of diapers, baby clothes, and items from our food pantry. This program strengthens
mother-child bonds and gives young mothers tools, resources and encouragement they
need to prevent child abuse or neglect.
A future phase of the development will be the construction of a Family Care Home
(group home) where single mothers can live in a group setting of 4-5 mother-child units
in a home. House parents will also live in the home for the purpose of mentoring young
mothers in skills of providing nutritious family meals, keeping a clean and orderly home,
loving discipline of children, financial management, and job skills.
