The Rev. Sheryl Palmer, senior pastor of Faith United Methodist Church, said tentative plans call for her church to continue to operate the men's shelter for this coming winter and for other local churches and volunteers to continue to be involved, with C-U at Home taking over running the shelter the following winter...
C-U at Home is already planning to move its headquarters and daytime drop-in center to the TIMES Center building if it finalizes a lease with Rosecrance. The building became available after Rosecrance ended a transitional housing program there June 30...
C-U at Home Executive Director Rob Dalhaus said his agency is working with leaders of the men's emergency shelter and others in the community to eventually bring several services for the homeless under one roof.
CU at Home, a homeless ministry and service provider in Champaign-Urbana, well known for its Phoenix Drop-In Center may be moving soon to a Rosecrance facility no longer in use. Rosecrance has become a central provider for mental health and other social services in the area after acquiring many individual local providers under their single umbrella. From FoxIllinois:
C-U at Home considers relocating to TIMES Center facilityMore at the full article here. The News-Gazette also had similar coverage here. Rosecrance is also looking to relocate from it's Fox Drive location among other moves. From a News-Gazette article last month that also noted a couple of the acquisitions Rosecrance made locally:
There is always room for improvement and expansion, and that is why C-U at Home is considering the former TIMES Center facility as its future location...
C-U at Home now hopes to take over the facility after the executive director, Rob Dalhaus III said their lease at the Phoenix drop-in center is almost up. C-U at Home hopes to relocate and operate the drop-in center, emergency shelter and administrative offices at the TIMES Center facility in Champaign, which is why the organization is finalizing an agreement with the facility's former operator, Rosecrance.
"It’s critical that we keep these services locally here in our town,” former volunteer at C-U at Home, Brian Chaille said. “We do need more and this is a good opportunity for that where [those in need] can be safe and secure and trust the people that they're working with.”
Under the TIMES Center, Rosecrance helped men transition into independent living and employment. The remaining clients successfully completed the program which led Rosecrance to discontinue it...
“We are very excited about C-U at Home being able to expand,” director of clinical services at Rosecrance in Champaign-Urbana, Juli Kartel said. “It’s a great win for the community as serving individuals who are homeless is what C-U at Home does so well.”
No word on when Rosecrance and C-U at Home will finalize the agreement.
Rosecrance planning facility changes now that acquisitions are completeMore at the full article here.
Some Champaign building changes may be on the way for Rosecrance, a provider of mental- and behavioral-health services in the area.
The Rosecrance facility at 1801 Fox Drive, C, is for sale for $2.9 million. Rosecrance eventually plans to relocate the administrative offices and counseling services at that address to a smaller building in Champaign, according to Chris Gleason, executive director of Rosecrance Central Illinois.
Rosecrance is also looking at replacing its longtime residential treatment facility at 122 W. Hill St. in downtown Champaign with another building, Gleason said.
The Fox Drive building was the longtime headquarters for the former Community Elements, a mental- and behavioral-health agency acquired by Rockford-based Rosecrance in 2016.
The Hill Street treatment facility had been operated by Prairie Center, the local substance-abuse treatment agency also acquired by Rosecrance at the start of this year.
