ABOUT THE PROJECT

After XX years of operating in shared residential spaces, HWT will overcome our lack of space and accelerate our mission with a best in class educational residential center located in the Parkside neighborhood of Trenton, NJ. This new space will allow us to triple our capacity, providing a supportive educational residential environment for up to 40 scholars annually. By 2027, our new home will enable HWT to expand our by program by 300%, send X Scholars to College, expand our community partner network from X to X, and generate over XX in annual financial impact for the community.

Savings of $130,000 per Year

1

Projected rental costs for the 2021-2022 school year will be approximately 30 percent of HomeWorks’ program budget. As the program expands up to 40 scholars plus requisite staff, rent could easily become $120,000 per year.

Program Sustainability and Growth

The purchase of a large house allows for program growth. Over the next few years, as our current scholars move through high school, HomeWorks will expand to 40 scholars at any given time (10 per each high school grade).

Creating a Visible Anchor and Building Credibility

A permanent house would give HomeWorks Trenton an anchor within the community we serve. It would increase our visibility and symbolize what HomeWorks stands for - female empowerment and social justice.
