Project Title: Children’s Village at Lotus Village
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Lotus House serves over 525 women, youth, and children experiencing homelessness every night (over 1300 annually) offering sanctuary, support, education, tools, and resources to help them heal, grow, thrive, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families. Lotus House upholds a Children First principle, understanding that breaking the cycles of homelessness, poverty, and abuse begins with our children.<\/p>\n
Our newest project, Children\u2019s Village at Lotus Village, is a model children\u2019s neighborhood resource center. Set to open in just a few short months, directly across the street from Lotus House, Children\u2019s Village will provide a safe, welcoming, trauma-informed, and inclusive environment for all. <\/p>\n
This 75,000+ square foot, 5-story, state-of-the-art facility fosters unprecedented collaboration among more than 10 nonprofit organizations, collectively supporting an estimated 2,000-2,500 children annually from both Lotus House and the broader Overtown community. Children\u2019s Village will serve as a central hub, offering: <\/p>\n
