CITY TEAM SAN JOSE

Grace Village Community Center

Grace Village is CityTeam San Jose’s 50 unit apartment complex providing essential services for women and children facing homelessness and domestic abuse. With this additional capacity, we have provided a safe, stable, and loving community where women can rebuild their lives and children can thrive. Grace Village has provided a refuge for families who we previously were unable to accommodate.

We have an opportunity to be a part of Phase 2 of the project, providing a community center.  The Community Center will be a 10,000 sq ft meeting space to add significant on-site resources to this supportive housing community. These resource will include: case management, meeting rooms, classrooms, daycare, and an outdoor children’s play area.

The Community Center provides uniquely designed spaces for pre-school, school-age, and adult supportive services.  Staff and volunteers ensure a safe setting where adults and children are empowered to achieve their age-appropriate, developmental goals.  The building design and diverse program elements provides an environment for holistic care.

CHILDREN'S CENTER
The Children's Center provides a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for pre-school children as their mothers engage in the supportive services that enable lasting solutions. We focus on building strong foundations with education, socialization, and healthy activities that develop each child’s skills and ability to thrive.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM CENTER
The afterschool program empowers school-aged youth to excel academically, engage in positive peer and adult relationships, and grow spiritually in a fun, interactive setting.  Volunteers provide tutoring and mentoring support to help each youth discover their passions and overcome academic and social barriers.

CITYTEAM @ WORK CENTER
The CityTeam @ Work Center creates education and job individualized placement plans that provide pathways to economic vitality by helping our students obtain living wage employment that leads to housing stability.  Staff and volunteers case manage, tutor, teach, and guide each woman in achieving her goals for a stable future.

INDOOR/OUTDOOR EVENT SPACE
Indoor space that spills out into versatile outdoor space enables a wide variety of meeting options for our life skill classes, community meetings, social events, and chapel services.  Building healthy relationships in group meetings brings stability to our women and children and gives them a sense of belonging.

ROOFTOP TERRACE
The rooftop terrace is a respite space for the community to enjoy quiet outdoor space for reflective, personal care as they pursue health and wholeness.  Beautiful and peaceful spaces are essential for restoring mental, emotional, and spiritual health; a place to breathe and relax.
