Donor & Partner Questions
Straight answers to common questions.
Has the preferred property been acquired?
No. The property remains the preferred opportunity and is not operating as a GG's House campus. GG's House continues serving from Forest Grove while the acquisition campaign and phased planning move forward.
What is the $1.4 million campaign for?
The current goal is for acquisition of the preferred property. It is not the full cost of stabilization, restoration, equipment, program development, or long-term operations. If the preferred property is not acquired, campaign funds will support GG's House in securing and developing a permanent home that advances the same mission.
