We Extend Hope, Empowerment and Growth to Our Community
In 2020, The Extension provided support to more than 250 clients, providing a lifeline to men and women who desperately wanted to reclaim their future from chemical dependency. Our facilities were at max capacity, but we still had to refer over 500 individuals, 65% of them men, to other facilities and providers.
As homelessness and addiction persist within our community, the need for complex services to support prevention, intervention and treatment of chemical dependency in our community only continues to grow.
However, there was a clear answer to addressing the increased need for our services and that was increasing our physical footprint through our Building Solutions Campaign.
The Building as our Solution
Our goal was to expand The Extension’s physical reach by July 2023, and this $6.8 million capital campaign provided the funding of the construction of a new men’s dorm on our Marietta campus.
The 22,000-square-foot building will double our capacity. It contains a multi-purpose space that will include a 56-bed dormitory with meeting rooms, recreational areas, and a cafeteria.
We are excited to take another monumental step toward ending homelessness and addiction in our community. With our new building, we will bring hope, healing, and transformation to the many men who will walk through our doors for years to come.
Experience the Transformation
We invite you to come and experience the connection, hope, and transformation that happen within our walls. Our building stands so that men who have fallen into despair can re-write the story of their lives into sober living, healthy relationships, and with a fulfilling purpose. Miracles happen everyday at The Extension, schedule a tour today and witness them with your own eyes.
