CMC owns two homes in the community that are over 100 years old. With the help of grants and in-kind donations of supplies and labor, we continue to make improvements for the safety and comfort of residents. We partnered with the Department of Public Health to do an Environmental Assessment and identify the most important needs for renovation. The Dublin House, one of the Center’s two houses for Transitional Housing residents, has recently had the flooring on the first level replaced thanks to a grant from the Housing Fund for Linn County.

The flooring renovation not only bettered the quality of living for the women, it also made Dublin House a more welcoming space, as did the recent bathroom renovation at the main CMC building.  Improvements like this would not be possible without community support, grants and dedicated members of our Land, Building and Equipment committee who help advise before and during renovations.

Stay tuned for new opportunities for Center improvements as we work on our biggest project to date, what we like to call “A Recipe for Empowerment” —CMC’s upcoming Transitional Housing kitchen remodel.
