Quincy, MA – Dellbrook|JKS celebrated the groundbreaking of a new housing and resource center for the charitable Father Bill’s & MainSpring, alongside The Narrow Gate Architecture, on Nov. 9.
The new Father Bill’s & MainSpring center will be constructed on what is currently a 50,000sf commercial lot. In partnership with the City of Quincy, this project will be completed in two phases, near the existing Father Bill’s & MainSpring facility on Broad Street. All operations will be relocated to this new facility and the current site will be transferred over to the City of Quincy.
Phase 1 includes the creation of a day center and shelter facility with associated staff offices, operations, dormitories, and medical clinic. Phase 2 includes the construction of 30 permanent shelter housing efficiency units, an outdoor courtyard area, and parking.
Dedicated to ending homelessness in Southern Massachusetts, Father Bill’s & MainSpring provides permanent supportive housing (PSH) for people in need. PSH includes housing assistance and supportive services to homeless individuals or families, especially those with disabilities.
Dellbrook|JKS anticipates the project’s completion by fall of 2023.
