Annapolis Homeless Shelter to Expand
With the continued faltering of the economy, coupled with the ongoing housing crisis, it is great and timely news that the Lighthouse Shelter in Annapolis is about to undergo a major expansion.
Located at 206 West Street, the shelter helps those without a home to stay warm during the winter. Last year, it was forced to turn away 500 homeless Annapolitans, 159 of which were children. It is currently housed in a 120-year-old building and has under 5,000 SF of space.
With the help of the community and studious planning on the shelters part, a major $1.4 million expansion is about to get underway. When the expansion is completed in June, 2010, the shelter will be able to help 1,500 homeless people per year.
Here are some details about the project:
- Four separate facilities will be housed in a single 24,000 SF building that is secure and green, which will help to lower operating costs
- The emergency shelter will have beds for 30 men and 15 women, where they can stay for up to 90 days in order to get back on their feet
- Transitional housing in the form of family apartments suitable for 5 adults and 20 children
- A day center providing basic services for the chronically homeless
The mission of the shelter is to empower Annapolis’ homeless population. 75% of the people that pass through its doors leave empowered with a job or income, a place to live and on the path to an independent life.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that survives through the generous giving of others, they still need help with this major project! Click here to see how you can donate money to the project and what your donation will accomplish!
If you are reading this while sitting in your comfortable home, or at your job, please think about those that are not fortunate enough to have either and donate to a worthy cause right now!

The design for your web site is a bit off in Opera. Still I like your website. I may have to install a “normal” browser just to enjoy it.

While we’re tackling the subject of Annapolis Homeless Shelter to Expand – Annapolis Anchor, We normally throw parties to commemorate a special moment in our lives. We celebrate those special events to relive special moments that mean a lot to us. We enjoy ourselves in these parties and have endless fun. But how many of us really think about those poor souls who do not have enough money even to lead their lives properly.

Hey Boss – its a nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend me about it?
July 27th, 2010 at 5:47 am
Easily, the article is actually the best topic on this registry related issue. I fit in with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your next updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the fantasti c lucidity in your writing. I will instantly grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates.

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
July 28th, 2010 at 6:23 am
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
