Building Hope: WCC's Construction of Homeward Bound Day Center and Shelter
Homelessness is a critical factor affecting communities across the country – including many in Ohio. At Weaver Commercial Contractor (WCC), we are proud to offer our commercial construction services to organizations that make a positive impact in addressing these and other challenges. One example of this is our recent work on the Homeward Bound Day Center and Severe Weather Shelter in Wooster, Ohio.
Project Overview
Homeward Bound is a charitable organization dedicated to providing shelter, meals, and support services to individuals experiencing homelessness. To better serve individuals in the Wooster, OH area, Homeward Bound contracted with WCC to renovate an old nightclub to serve as a 7,677 square foot day center and severe weather shelter.
Key features of the renovated property included:
- Lobby and intake area
- Separate men's and women's bunk rooms
- Women's lounge
- Restrooms, kitchen, cafeteria, and laundry facilities
- Living room and office suite
- Outdoor courtyard
WCC’s Expertise in Action
For this project, we took a collaborative approach, working closely with Homeward Bound’s leadership to ensure our work met the unique requirements of this shelter facility. Above all else, we focused on creating spaces that would be safe, comfortable, and conducive to providing essential services. We also worked diligently to ensure we delivered high-quality construction while adhering to time and budget constraints.
This project was especially meaningful for us because of our team’s desire to give back to the community. Supporting organizations like Homeward Bound that make a positive difference is our way of accomplishing a greater good.
The Impact of Homeward Bound
With its
new facility, Homeward Bound has been able to expand its services and provide critical support to at-need individuals. We are proud of how the facility’s design and construction have helped create a safe, welcoming, and dignified environment for those experiencing homelessness. Most importantly, this community-focused space offers a safe haven, access to resources, and opportunities for individuals to get back on their feet.
