Homeless women and children in Baldwin County will soon have a place to seek shelter. The Baldwin County Family Village dedicated their new transitional home Sunday in Fairhope.
“Little did I know -- in my wildest dreams -- that four months later this community would have raised $700,000 to purchase this property. That just I mean... Claps. It speaks to the depths of commitment among you all in this room and in this community,” said Kate Carver, Executive Director Dumas Wesley Center.
“We can open some of the bedrooms to accompany to hold a larger family or some are for single women. We can do single women or women with children. This is a nice Jack and Jill bathroom setup so we can accommodate a larger family if we need to,” explained Carver as she gave us a tour. “We literally take each person and say what is their greatest need -- what has led to their homelessness and we try to tackle it one barrier at a time... And that’s really what we hope to do here,” said Sarah Laurio, Sybil Smith Family Village Director.
Crystal Corrao is one of their success stories. She and her 5-year-old daughter Isabelle were homeless and living out of their car in Baldwin County last year. She’s a current resident at Sybil Smith and wanted to share her story with folks helping open the Baldwin Family Village.
