Acquires the preferred property.
The property has not yet been acquired. The acquisition campaign remains a distinct designation.
Phase 1 — Acquire + Protect
Secure the opportunity. Bring it back to life together.
$1.4 million is the first threshold: the amount required to acquire the preferred property. It is not the end of the work or the end of fundraising.
GG’s House is raising toward acquisition while building the financial resources and partnerships needed to protect, assess, stabilize, and begin restoring the property responsibly. Current service continues from the existing Forest Grove location.
Phase 1 — Acquire + Protect
The first threshold secures the opportunity. Capacity keeps growing from there.
Protect. Assess. Stabilize. Begin restoration.
Fundraising and partnership-building continue beyond the acquisition threshold so ownership can begin responsibly.
The $1.4 million acquisition threshold does not fund the full restoration of the campus. GG’s House will continue building financial resources, grants, material and equipment support, professional expertise, and trade and business partnerships for the work that follows.
Future stabilization and restoration support will be separately defined and documented. No speculative restoration total or reserve amount is being presented before professional scoping and Board approval.
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.
How the campus comes back to life
Professional, manageable phases.
Acquire
Secure the preferred property.
Protect & Assess
Secure the site, complete professional evaluation, and establish immediate priorities.
Stabilize & Restore in Phases
Address defined priorities as funding, materials, professional scopes, approvals, and partnerships are ready.
Develop & Sustain
Build programs, community uses, equipment, staffing and volunteer capacity, and long-term operations separately as readiness is demonstrated.
The $1.4 million acquisition threshold does not fund all four steps. The campus would not open all at once; each phase would move forward only when the space, systems, people, approvals, and operating resources are ready.
One project at a time
One building. One system. One project at a time.
A large campus becomes achievable when the work is divided into defined, professionally managed scopes. After assessment, types of restoration work that may become defined projects include:
Protect the property
- Roofing and weather protection
- Windows and doors
- Grounds and site work
Restore core systems
- Electrical systems
- Plumbing systems
- Heating, ventilation, and controls
- Fire and life-safety systems
Bring spaces back
- Interiors and classrooms
- Industrial-arts spaces
- Kitchen and dining spaces
- Professional design and engineering
These examples are not a claim that every listed repair is required. Actual projects would be based on professional assessment, approved priorities, and a clear scope.
More than one way to help
Participation built around real needs.
Financial Support
Give toward the acquisition campaign now or, when future purposes and projects are separately defined, support protection, stabilization, or restoration work.
Materials
Provide specified materials when they match an approved scope, schedule, storage plan, and technical requirements.
Equipment
Transfer equipment or arrange approved equipment support when ownership, use, transport, training, maintenance, and safety are clear.
Professional Expertise
Help assess, design, plan, estimate, or solve a defined need through qualified professional work.
Skilled Trades
Take part in a licensed, permitted, professionally managed scope once it has been defined.
Business Partnerships
Combine financial support, materials, equipment, expertise, skilled work, discounts, or paid and contributed elements in a realistic structure.
Community Participation
Join safe, supervised service opportunities that do not replace licensed or regulated work.
Businesses & Trades
Defined business partnerships can help carry the work.
Restoration partnerships should begin with a real project, a clear scope, and an honest conversation about what a company can realistically contribute. No company is being asked to take open-ended responsibility for an unknown campus or donate an entire project.
Partnerships may combine paid work, contributed support, materials, equipment, or professional expertise. Restoration Partners explains the business structure and safeguards in detail.
Clear expectations
Clear expectations for what comes next.
Recognition and business terms
Factual recognition, naming boundaries, paid/contributed structures, and professional participation are explained on the Restoration Partners page.
Contribution and verification
Resources provides nonprofit verification, financial information, contribution basics, and direct contact.
The work is already happening
GG’s House continues serving from its existing Forest Grove location while the permanent-home effort moves forward. A future campus would expand capacity over time.
The first step is not the last step
There is more than one way to help bring this to life.
Help reach the $1.4 million acquisition threshold, explore a business or trade partnership that can build responsible capacity for what follows, or ask a question before taking the next step.
