Houston Endowment granted Santa Maria $200,000 for restoration and renovation on the 46 year old Jacquelyn facility, home of residential services for single women ranging from treatment to supportive housing, to specialized housing and services for female veterans.
This grant enabled Santa Maria to replace the aging concrete courtyard and walkways, repair and paint the exterior, install new windows on two buildings, install 10, 2 ton AC units, install a digital security system, install additional security lighting, and resurface the main parking lot.
Sincere thanks go to Houston Endowment for improving the safety and security of our clients and staff and improving the energy efficiency of the systems and buildings at Santa Maria’s Jacquelyn facility.
