With the ever growing population of homeless people and abandoned buildings in Rio Piedras, it comes as a solution the retrofitting of these buildings as shelter, housing, and/or community centers. This project aims to provide, not a temporary shelter, but permanent housing for the men and women with greater needs among the homeless community of Rio Piedras. It also provides the services of FOOD, MEDICAL SERVICES, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL WORKERS and SHOWERS for the rest of the community of homeless and also the residents of Rio Piedras. This design has been submitted for federal funds for its construction. Today the Municipality of San Juan handed the property over to Non-profit org. Estancia Corazon. This project was made possible by the colaboration between CAUCE, Estancia Corazón, Arq. Reynaldo Torres and his students, Profas. Yazmin Crespo, Omayra Rivera-Crespo, Andrea Bauzá & students of Escuela de Arquitectura UPRRP, Eydira Jiménez, Edward Ramírez, Lorna M. Mulero, Gustavo Casalduc y David Tait.
