BEAVER After two years of no local options, homeless men in Beaver County will soon have a place to lay their heads at night.
The Cornerstone of Beaver County, a nonprofit based in Beaver Falls, received more than $1 million in funding to help buy a building off of Drug and Alcohol Services of Beaver Valley and convert it into a 24-hour men s emergency shelter. We’re truly honored to work with the county on this milestone development that will ensure that men in need of safe, emergency housing and supportive services can access it right here in their own community, said Marie Timpano, executive director of the organization. We’re also excited to work with our Beaver County Continuum of Care partners to empower shelter participants to secure and maintain stable, permanent housing, independence, and ultimately, a future of hope and possibilities.”
