Our New Home

On June 24th, 2008 the Novato City Council unanimously approved the new Gilead House project. Now we are looking for your support to make this home a reality.
To donate your time, to participate in construction of the home or to make a financial contribution call us at 415.897.2787.

Making the
Dream Real

The success of the Gilead House has been built on community outreach and committed volunteers. In that spirit it is our goal to make this dream a reality with even greater community involvement. We will award work to contactors that have the same vision as the Gilead House and are willing to show their support through superior craftsmanship, and donations of time and materials. We will solicit
local businesses and individuals to get involved through donation of time, furnishings, services, or money. Costs will further be reduced by concurrently doing design and build feasibility with subcontactors, thus ensuring the house can be built as designed for the budgeted cost.

The New Gilead House

 

A purpose-built home for six moms and their children, the new Gilead
House is situated in downtown Novato close to shopping, transportation,
services and parks. The home will be energy efficient and include solar
electric to reduce ongoing operating costs. Features include:
• 5549 square feet of living space, including
• A separate unit for the house manager
• Separate bedroom and bath for each family
• Dedicated study and play area for children
• On-site laundry facilities
• 2-car garage with 4 outdoor parking spaces
• Fenced-in courtyard
• Kitchen for everyday eating and cooking lessons
• Separate area for volunteers to teach and meet with the families

BUILDING OUR FUTURE—CONSTRUCTION BEGINS. Construction of the new Gilead House has begun. Our current leased facility allows us to serve only three families at a time and we must frequently turn away applicants. With over 2,000 homeless or at-risk children in Marin County, the need is great. The new facility will double the number of families served, plus provide needed space for education and training. A unit for the resident house manager will enable us to provide consistent on-premise staffing. Our goal is to move into this new home debt free. We need your help to make this goal a reality!!
