From Pilot to Permanent: The New Grace Space
The Grace Space has officially opened a permanent, year-round home at 64 Pendleton Street in Cortland. What began as a winter pilot project has grown into a dedicated daytime space rooted in dignity, safety, and human connection for individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Thanks to strong community partnerships and generous support, the new location allows for greater consistency, expanded services, and deeper connections to care.
New Report: Piloting the Grace Space, a Data-Driven, Low-Threshold Daytime Resource Center
From November 2024 to April 2025, RHI and other community partners operated a low-threshold daytime resource center for people experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness. This center--the Grace Space--was housed at Grace and Holy Spirit Church in downtown Cortland. This report details the work that went into planning, opening, and operating the space; it gives an overview and analysis of the data we collected through operating the space; and it lays out recommendations for Cortland County's next steps as well as for other communities that want to learn from this pilot project.
