What is the Capital Campaign?

We’re currently in the midst of updating our 3 locations – The Ben and Jane Norton Center Homeless Shelter in Lorain, our Administration Offices in Elyria, and our Child Care Center in Lorain. The Capital Campaign helps us in modernizing each of these facilities based on the needs of the organization to ensure an updated foundation for the future of our Agency.

As the only family-friendly emergency shelter in Lorain County, the Ben and Jane Norton Center provides safe, dignified shelter for families experiencing homelessness. Our 9,262 sq. ft. expansion allows us to serve up to 88 residents, creating private, welcoming spaces where families can find stability, hope, and the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Washington Project

Neighborhood Alliance is currently undergoing a six-phase capital campaign to repair, renovate, and reimagine our service locations. Our Administration Building is located at 265 Washington Ave. in Elyria – the former YMCA. In addition to serving as our Administration location for all of our human services programming (Senior Home Delivered Meals, Help Me Grow, Home Visiting, Early Intervention), we’re also looking forward to renovating our gymnasium to serve as a community-friendly location for sporting events and a Community Center.
