Shea Homes Starts Construction on Shepherd’s Gate Expansion in Brentwood

HomeAid is excited for our newest project to start construction for the Shepherd’s Gate campus in Brentwood.  We are building three 2-bedroom cottage units plus a pantry with laundry addition.  Shea Homes is our generous Builder Captain, constructing the addition that will function as the last step in the  Shepherd’s Gate recovery program.  The cottages will be used for clients who have found stable employment or are attending college, before becoming fully self-sufficient graduates of the program and moving into local affordable housing. 

These families have suffered different traumas in their lives; poverty, homelessness, aging out of foster care, sex trafficking, addiction, and domestic violence.  Over 80% of Shepherd’s Gate graduates, after one year, can support themselves and have found permanent housing, they are employed or attending college.  The graduates become active members of the community and continue to live a sober life with new skills learned at Shepherd’s Gate.  The program focuses on long-term solutions that help clients transform their lives.
