Throughout Florence Crittenton’s history, we have evolved time and time again to meet the changing needs of Montana’s parents and children. In the last few years, we have recognized that the need for our programs is greater than ever and increasing our capacity to serve has emerged as an essential step in continuing our mission. And thus, the dream of Project Sunshine began. This dream was to have a campus where we can co-locate our residential, community, and early childhood programs with room to not only serve more families, but also build our programs to respond to a greater spectrum of needs in an efficient manner.
We dreamed of a place where staff can collaborate freely, a safe space where our clients feel welcomed and supported, and an enriching environment where children can explore and grow.
Total Project Cost
$13,801,035
Our New Campus Will...
- Solidify Florence Crittenton as a significant provider of family-based services in Montana
- Allow us to serve 90+ additional families per year
- More easily facilitate our continuum of care and ease of access for families as every program will be on one co-located campus
- Facilitate operational savings of ~$200,000 annually (when renovations are complete) which will go directly back to our programs
Program Expansion Facilitated upon Completion of Project Sunshine
- Increase number of residential clients from 12 to 16
- Allow for the new Transitional Living Program for 6 families
- Increase total residential services by 55%
- Nearly double the number of spots in our Child Enrichment Center, increasing from 24 to 46
- Allow us to hold events and serve families for group connection events and parenting classes in our own space, saving room rental costs
- Increased coaching / supervised parenting time through CPS
