“Our view is that society needs more buildings dedicated to serving the needs of people who leave the prison system, or immigrants coming into the country for the first time, or underemployed who are seeking to generally improve their ability to provide for their families. The fact that there is a significant homeless population near this site points to the need for such programs. We believe that providing these services within an Adaptive Reuse project allows costs to stay lower than a newly rebuilt facility. Combined with a Market Rate Office Tower and Incubation Centers that adds new life and attract young workers would relieve the stigma associated with these programs and further strengthen connections to a healthy society.”
