Capital Campaign / Phase I
 

Capital Campaign Phase I – Completed January 2004
The New Caroline Alexander Buck Residence Hall
Total Cost: $2,500,000

The critical need for safe, appropriate residential housing for at-risk youth generated the plans for a new residential facility on our Roxborough campus.

Phase I was successfully completed with the opening of The Caroline Alexander Buck Residence Hall in January, 2004. The successful, $2.5 million project resulted in the first new building on this campus in 75 years.

The Buck Building currently houses Generations I, an 8-unit supervised housing facility designed for young mothers between the ages of 16 and 18 who are aging out of foster care placements and residential facilities, each with one young child. The facility is intended to assist these young mothers in successfully transitioning out of the child welfare system to become fully independent adults.
