Why Los Angeles still needs this project

Need is still measured in people, not abstract percentages.

67,777 People experiencing homelessness in the LA Continuum of Care in 2025.
2,963 Adult residential-level psychiatric bed shortfall estimated in LA County.
50 Beds Project RESTORE adds to the continuum.

Los Angeles County is still confronting both homelessness and a shortage of residential behavioral health capacity. Project RESTORE addresses the infrastructure gap by converting an underutilized property into treatment space that already has public funding lined up.

“Both reports highlight the shortage for subacute and community residential beds for adults.”

Before / After

Exterior transformation

From an underutilized corner property to a dignified recovery campus.

What changes

Acquisition + full rehabilitation, secured site circulation, upgraded envelope, and a facility designed for behavioral health use.

Why it matters

The physical environment communicates safety, structure, and dignity before a single service is delivered.

Project scope

The state award specifically funds acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing facility.

Current / Future

Resident experience

The campaign is not only about square footage. It is about what healing feels like when a person walks in the room.

Our Current 10 Bed Site

Bedroom

Safe but basic. Function comes first; dignity is limited by the existing environment.

Living space

Shared areas provide shelter, but not always the therapeutic design cues recovery requires.

Kitchen

Residents need spaces that support nutrition, routine, and calm.

What donors are helping build

  • A secured, code-compliant campus with controlled entry and safe circulation.
  • Private and semi-private rooms designed for dignity and calm.
  • A courtyard / wellness terrace that supports reflection, routine, and community.
  • Exterior finishes selected for durability, warmth, and long-term operational stewardship.
Three phases

Campaign architecture

This campaign is staged around what the project must fund first, what must be carried during construction, and what it takes to open strong.

Phase 1

Silent / pre-construction

$8.48M target

Raise the required match and acquisition capital by April 1, 2026. This is the major-donor window to secure site control and unlock the state award.

Phase 2

Construction bridge

$6.86M bridge need

Carry contractor draws and construction costs while eligible expenses are submitted for reimbursement under the state award structure.

Phase 3

Program ramp-up

$0.75M sponsor estimate

Cover staffing, licensing, startup supplies, and launch-period cash needs until Medi-Cal billing and operating cash flow stabilize.

Phase 3 amount is a sponsor estimate pending final ramp plan and payer onboarding timing.

How private capital unlocks public dollars

Project RESTORE is a reimbursement-backed capital stack. The opportunity is already funded, but it must be carried.

What donors make possible

  • Close the non-negotiable match required by the state award.
  • Help secure acquisition and preserve schedule certainty.
  • Reduce the amount of expensive bridge capital required during construction.
  • Create launch stability so the program can open with dignity and strength.
Because the award reimburses eligible costs after they are incurred, early private capital does not compete with the public award. It activates it.

Catalytic capital

How gifts work

This is not a traditional “fund it once and hope” model. The right capital at the right time unlocks reimbursement and positions the program to become revenue-supported.

1.

Donor / partner capital

Match, acquisition, and early bridge support get the project moving.

2.

Project spends

Acquisition closes, construction mobilizes, and eligible costs are incurred.

3.

State reimbursement

Eligible BHCIP costs are submitted and reimbursed under program rules.

4.

Program opens

Staffing, licensure, startup, and admissions ramp toward launch.

5.

Medi-Cal revenue

Billing and operating revenue support the facility over time.

$4.47M-$6.67M

Preliminary annual gross revenue range once stabilized.

Primary paydown

BHCIP reimbursement proceeds during development.

Long-term support

Medi-Cal billing and operating cash flow.

Projected sustainability after launch

The deck is not asking donors to permanently subsidize the operating model. It is asking them to help launch it.

Operating model assumptions

  • 50 licensed residential beds.
  • Revenue sensitivity shown at 70%, 80%, and 85% occupancy.
  • Illustrative daily revenue range: $350 to $430 per occupied bed day.
  • Final operating performance will depend on licensure, payer mix, contracting, and staffing model.
The capital campaign gets the program to opening day. The operating model is designed to carry it beyond opening day.

Credibility

Why this team can carry it

Pastor Troy Vaughn

“From brokenness to purpose” is not a slogan here. It is lived experience at the center of leadership.

Christ-Centered Ministries was co-founded in 1999 and has grown around housing, reentry, recovery support, and community transformation.
CCM’s stated goal is not simply to get people off the streets, but to provide a comprehensive array of supports that lead to lasting stability.
Project RESTORE builds on an existing ministry platform rather than starting from scratch.
“The goal is not simply to get people off the streets, but to provide a comprehensive array of supports that assist people in achieving stability which allows them to move forward with their lives.”

Already doing the work that this project scales

Current care environments and existing ministry infrastructure demonstrate that Project RESTORE is an expansion of capacity, not a speculative concept.

Help us unlock what has already been awarded.

Project RESTORE is ready for capital partners who want their giving to move fast, last long, and change lives.
