A Dream Becomes Reality
In October 2019 three one acre lots were privately purchased and donated.
With the construction of Phase 1 on these lots underway in June 2021, the first affordable, sober living apartments in Reno will now be available in Summer 2022.
Additional Costs
The apartment complex is located on Marvel Way, a perfect location near buses, employment, and education. Although in the center of town, the project required adding an extraordinary amount of infrastructure: water, sewer, gas and electric utilities. Private donors have generously supported this effort, however the costs of hiring support services, furniture, advanced security requirements and outdoor recreational facilities are in need of financial support. We estimate the additional Phase 1 costs to be $160,000.
Phase Two
An additional 42 apartments on site will begin the planning stages in late 2021, support funding for this next phase is also appreciated.
