Location
After looking at more than 50 properties, meeting with stakeholders, and soliciting feedback from local businesses and community groups, 610 Gibson Street was selected as the future home of the Day Resource Center. This location is within easy walking distance of needed services and organizations, outside the downtown retail district, close to city bus lines, requires relatively minor upgrades, and is in a safe location.
The unconnected eastern portion of Gibson Street, which starts at S. Dewey Street and ends in a private parking lot, was officially renamed Better Way on July 22. In addition to making downtown easier to navigate, this address change is a symbolic and strategic alignment with our capital campaign. The new address for our building is 1 Better Way.
Building Layout
Constructed in 1999, the building is in excellent condition but requires extensive remodeling before it can open to the public. Offices, classrooms, and a food panty will be added to the WDEOC side of the building. Six bathrooms, three showers, laundry facilities and shared office space will be added to the DRC side. A fenced outdoor patio space will be constructed on the south side of the building, accessible to clients from the DRC program rooms.
