Source of Funds: • NSP 3 – NDED/HDC $943,280 • NSP 1 – NDED/HDC $400,000 • CASA (Local Donations) $284,000 • Community Support • Hastings Community Foundation $ 5,000for Marketing • Slumberland Furniture $ 1,200 for the Beds • Bruce Hill Furniture $ 2,500 for the Couches • Other Furnishings and Housewares were donated by Families, Churches, Sunday School Classes and the Hastings Youth Leadership Council.

  3. Other Resources • Hastings College is putting together a program that will provide one-on-one peer mentoring • Several businesses are offering job opportunities and job shadowing • Several business and banks within the community will provide financial instruction, such as budgeting and understanding credit • Hastings Public Schools will assist tenants in obtaining a GED or High School Diploma and furthering their education

  4. Finding a Site • The building is located in the Historical District of Hastings and plans were underway by Mary Lanning Healthcare to demolish the building. There was a lot of concern in the community about the building being torn down. • Simultaneously, HDC and CASA were exploring different buildings for a Youth Center. Maryland Foundation contacted HDC asking to have their building considered. • This building appeared to be most adaptable for the project. 6 blocks north of the downtown business area, within 1 block of a grocery store, pharmacy, 2 banks and the Mary Lanning Healthcare Center and within walking distance of Hastings High School and several parks.

  5. History of The Building • The 21 year-old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. William Lanning of Hastings, Mary, returned home from college to visit her parents. The reunion ended in tragedy. Mary contracted pneumonia during her visit, and because of limited health care in Hastings, died in 1910. • In Mary’s memory, the Lannings established a hospital and school of nursing, and in 1928, a dormitory named, “The Maryland Hotel” in honor of their daughter. • The dormitory contained a common kitchen, dining, bathrooms and 33 tiny dorm rooms for the nursing students.

  6. Maryland Living Center • 10 – one bedroom apartments • 3 – two bedroom apartments • Apartments on the ground floor are accessible • 3 – offices for the CASA workers • Library, Game and TV Room • – named after former Senator ArdyceBohlke • Food Pantry and Clothes Closet • Laundry Facility • Public Restroom with an Accessible Laundry Facility • Future Plans include Storage Bins in the Basement

  7. Partnership With Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) • The Housing Development Corporation is contracting with CASA to provide the day to day operations and working with the Youth. • CASA was awarded a 5 year contract from the Family Youth Services Bureau for $180,000 per year. So those funds will pay the Program Director, Case Manager, a monthly stipend to the Resident Manager and all the supportive services for the Youth – such as food, medical and dental care, prescriptions, mental health services, educational supplies, etc. • The Mary Lanning Healthcare Foundation donated $100,000 for Operating.

How the Program Works • The target population is ages 16 – 22 • Priority is youth aging out of foster care and other youth with no permanent address • Unemployed youth are given 60 – 90 days to secure a job of at least 20 hours per week • Youth that have a job pay 30% of their gross income towards rent and utilities • CASA workers also assist youth in getting Social Security disability or other benefits • Criminal background checks are required
