The First

The basement and second floor of Zion Lutheran Church in Pittsfield has undergone a thoughtful renovation to create a welcoming space for individuals experiencing homelessness. The redesigned lower level serves as a day-use center offering showers, laundry facilities, and a lounge area, while the upper floor has been converted into nine supportive housing units. The transformation reflects a collaborative effort to repurpose existing community infrastructure into a hub of stability and care.
