Meeting the Need

Interfaith Community Services plans to operate two distinct types of programs at the Abraham and Lillian Turk Recuperative Care Center, each helping people with temporary lodging while they seek transitional or permanent housing: Recuperative Care: Adults discharged from local hospitals without housing and in need of care.

Join Us in Helping Provide a Pathway to Stable Housing for Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors Interfaith Community Services is actively seeking donor support and partnership to bring The Turk Center to reality. We cherish gifts of all sizes and closely guard your wish to remain anonymous. At the same time, it is a wonderful opportunity to honor your family, business, organization or foundation by considering a naming opportunity at our new center.

Naming opportunities are available in recognition of gifts of all sizes towards this project. Pledges can be paid over multiple years. All gifts supporting the completion of the Abraham and Lillian Turk Recuperative Care Center will be

Graduate Lodging: Adults who have graduated from other Interfaith programs, including substance use treatment, homeless shelter, and recuperative care, and in need of temporary lodging.

Interfaith’s Recuperative Care Program (RCP) is currently a 32-bed, 24/7 facility, providing communitybased transient lodging care and treatment for individuals experiencing homelessness and needing further recuperation when being discharged from local hospitals. We have measurable success supporting people in overcoming crises through our programs and services, and our existing 32-bed Recuperative Care center is at capacity.

The Abraham and Lillian Turk Recuperative Care Center will support relocation and enable RCP to expand to 54 total beds. In addition, it will create critically needed Graduate Lodging, providing 33 rooms for graduates of Interfaith’s programs who are still seeking transitional or permanent housing.
