Other work involves constructing additional shelter-bed spaces, common-area updates and general building maintenance. Due to the technical nature and size of the renovation, materials alone for the project are estimated to cost upwards of $200,000, double the typical renovation cost taken on by the organization.

In the past decade, the group has completed $1 million of renovations for non-profits in the region.
