This morning, hundreds of people gathered for the groundbreaking and to see what the structure will look like. The church will be divided in four sections: Kay’s kitchen, a state of the art commercial kitchen; The Day Haven, a place of refuge for the homeless and the needy; the Sanctuary, a non-denominational space that will host musical events, exhibits and community events, and the Annex, a centralized location for all local agencies. not rated -

http://corpuschristi.wordpress.com/about-us/ Most homeless people are either temporarily homeless, as the result of a crisis such as loss of a job, or persistently homeless, due to chronic disabilities such as substance abuse and mental illness. The persistently homeless present our society with one of the most vexing, difficult and expensive problems to solve. Their chronic disabilities render many of them unemployable, except for occasional day labor jobs. Observing the situations that homeless people are forced into, Tim Cooper, the former Hyde Park Mennonite pastor, gathered a group of people to address the conditions that homelessness forces on people. The dream of the group was to open a “catholic worker” hospitality day center that offered a comfortable place to sit, rest, read, or visit while providing the basic necessities for maintaining personal dignity. Realizing that there was no place in Boise where these services were offered, the group opened Corpus Christi House in December 2003. not rated -
