GREENVILLE, N.C. – Community Crossroads Center has been awarded a $500,000 challenge grant by SECU Foundation to help expand its campus in Pitt County.
The construction of a new Homeless Resource Center and renovation of CCC’s current facility will enable the non-profit to increase shelter space and comprehensive services for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Established in 1987, CCC provides safe housing, meals, and supportive services to individuals in need. CCC’s current space constraints have resulted in long waitlists, hindering the non-profit’s ability to provide critical resources amid increased demand for services. SECU Foundation assisted CCC in 2014 with an interest-free construction loan through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to build its current shelter.
“As the only emergency shelter in Pitt County, Community Crossroads Center is vitally important to those experiencing homelessness in this area,” SECU Foundation Executive Director Jama Campbell said. “The expansion will enable CCC to serve up to 900 individuals each year with the resources to achieve long-term self-sufficiency, and we are pleased to provide funding to support their mission to end homelessness.”
