Preserving Our Home – Providing for Our Community!

The Project

In order to remain a viable, safe space for women in need, this historical structure must be updated and maintained. We recently underwent a historic assessment/inspection to determine the structural needs and requirements to safely maintain the home. As one of the few Lembke structures left in the area it is critical not to lose this important representative of Valparaiso’s rich history. Future projects involving the neighborhood and other local organizations are dependent upon this “lovely lady” being available to safely offer their services and programs to the community

    Join us for a presentation with Carmen Vincent, Executive Director of Project Neighbors, to share the history and tell us about the present and future plans of Project Neighbors and how we might be helpful in their organization. Project Neighbors is a Non-profit whose mission is "to strengthen the larger Valparaiso community by addressing issues related to race, class, and poverty in order to build healthy families and neighborhoods where diversity of all kinds is welcomed and cherished. We accomplish this by building and managing affordable rental housing, closing the racial wealth gap through the Freedom Recovery Fund, and connecting our residents to supportive resources with our community partners."
