Capital planning status: ACSIS is using a preliminary $3 million–$5 million campaign planning range. This is not a representation of an approved project budget or funding award. Final costs will depend on site selection, acquisition or occupancy strategy, due diligence, design, renovation/construction requirements, equipment, program scope and operating-readiness planning.

Why a community-serving center

The proposed center is intended to give ACSIS dedicated capacity for community intake, confidential consultations, training, digital access, humanitarian coordination, resource navigation and program delivery. A final facility has not yet been selected.
