Significant facility improvements guarantee the success of programs designed to fulfill Northern Home's mission and goals. The existing facilities were not designed for our current broad continuum of services. Old buildings and an unwieldy layout often make service delivery disjointed and cumbersome. Maintaining these buildings over the years has been challenging because funding sources provide for services, but not for campus upkeep, repairs and renovations.

To meet those challengers, Northern Home for Children embarked on an $10.4 million, multi-phase capital campaign that will enable us to maintain, enhance and add to the wide range of programs and services currently in place. The campaign funds will be used to build two new buildings and renovate two existing buildings.

Future plans will include the complete renovation of the current administration building as well as the construction of a community day care center in the existing Merrick Building, which is not currently operational.
