At Homeward Bound Villages, we believe in transparency with our community partners, supporters, and future residents. Today, we want to share an important update about our Karwick Village development timeline and the thoughtful planning that’s going into creating homes that will serve our community for generations to come.

A Strategic Early 2025 Start

This timeline adjustment reflects our commitment to doing things right, even if that means delaying our construction until the optimal time to complete this project.

We are also focusing on building internally as we begin our search for an Assistant Director of Programs, Communications & Development at Homeward Bound Villages. It is very exciting for our organization to add the right individual to our growing staff to ensure forward progress and continuity in our progress as an organization. Our choice to build in the spring allows this individual to learn about and become comfortable in their new role, our organization, and our community prior to construction beginning.
