This grant award will support the installation of the center s Security/Safety Program.
New Hope Center s new facility consists of three wings that will keep the groups separated from one another. An access control system will need to be installed that will give everyone a key card that will only allow them to enter their designated wing.
This safety program will also consist of video cameras installed into the shared common areas, hallways, and exterior doors to help monitor the safety of clients and staff. The front entrance will have a video intercom entrance to help monitor those that are coming into the shelter. The center would eventually like to offer some classes in their conference room about personal safety which would include awareness of surroundings, identity theft, and common scams (phishing, telephone, mystery shoppers, etc.).
