A Place to Call Home Housewarming Party

A Place to Call Home Housewarming Party is an opportunity for an individual, family, business, faith-based organization, club, school or community group to invite friends, relatives, co-workers and members to donate quality, new, household items needed to make an apartment a home in the NSO Bell Building. By hosting a party, now through March 31, 2012, you will make a difference in the life of a formerly homeless neighbor. Click on the house to learn more.

A Place to Call Home…

The Place to Call Home campaign is an important part of the $10 million fundraising effort to support the transformation of the former Michigan Bell Telephone Building into an innovative permanent, supportive housing program that will help end homelessness in Detroit. A Place to Call Home is focused specifically on the renovation of each of the 155 apartments.

Your $5,000 pledge will provide a home!

Individuals, families, businesses, congregations, school and community groups can pledge to sponsor one of the 155 apartments in the NSO Bell Building. Your pledge of $5,000 will help NSO fully renovate an apartment and help provide vital support services.

A Place to Call Home sponsors will become a member of Friends of NSO Bell and will receive special recognition, including a plaque placed by the door of the sponsored apartment and in the building’s public lobby. A Place to Call Home sponsors will also receive a commemorative tile and an invitation to a special ribbon-cutting event to officially welcome residents to their new homes in the fall of 2012.
