New Building Planned for 2010 – Tax Credits Available for Donors
The Good Samaritan Boys Ranch will break ground on a new building for the Footsteps Transitional Living Program located in Springfield. Tax credits through the Missouri Department of Economic Development will provide donors with a tax credit equal to 50% of every dollar they donate – donate $1,000 and receive $500 back in tax credits which can be used on your state taxes. Contact Julie Conway, Director of Development at 350-9694 for more information.
The current Footsteps facilities include a 10 bed group home and off-site apartment building. The expansion project will construct a new 20 bed group home and locate a new 20 unit apartment complex on the same property to create a transitional living campus. The Good Samaritan Boys Ranch has purchased a 2.5 acre lot on Norton Road in Springfield which will be the home for the new campus.
Phase I of the project will focus on the construction of a new group home for Footsteps. The 20 bed group home would incorporate common living areas, a recreation room, kitchen and dining area, offices for staff and a training room.
