Place Of Hope Breaks Ground

On Affordable Transitional
Housing In The Treasure Coast

Place of Hope held a one-of-a-kind groundbreaking
ceremony on May 25 at 10:30 a.m. to celebrate the new
buildings being created for aged-out foster youth, homeless
youth, single mothers with dependent children, and human
trafficking survivors on the Treasure Coast.
This event is timely because it comes on the heels of
Senate Bill 102 just signed into law by Governor DeSantis
known as the Live Local Act. The bill will be pumping
millions of dollars into affordable housing legislation
programs and this transitional housing complex is a prime
example of what this legislation could help create in other
parts of our area. Statistics show that more than half of youth
who age out of foster care will end up homeless, pregnant or
in jail within 18 months without proper guidance, support Jamie Bond, Dr. Leighan Rinker, Theresa Peak, Greg Langowski, Commissioner Doug Smith, Sheriff William Snyder,
and housing. The new complex will be within The Bender Representative John Snyder, Trisha Bender, Charles Bender, Ronald (Mickey) Nocera, Pastor Ellis McKenzie, Chief Deputy
Family Village. This is the first complex to be built within Clerk Cheri Vancura
the village and will be named after State Representative
John Snyder and Martin County Sheriff William Snyder
who were both in attendance at the event. Both the village
and the complex were generously made possible by John
and Bobbi Erbey. Also in attendance were Martin County
Sheriff’s deputies, Martin County Commissioners, donors,
Angel Moms and current Place of Hope youth.
