Two of CAHEC New Markets’ investments recently opened their doors! These multi-service community hubs were envisioned by organizations deeply embedded in their communities to respond directly to identified community needs.

A community development in Winston-Salem, NC, that has successfully reached completion is The Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness in Winston-Salem, NC, led by Senior Services, Inc., is the organization behind the new facility that works to provide intergenerational interactions by bringing children, seniors, and all races and backgrounds together to create a community of understanding.

This multi-tenant center offers improved access to critical social services, including elder care, healthcare, early childhood education, arts, and more. The new facility allowed Senior Services to expand its adult day center and partner organizations to broaden services to the community to include an adult day center, an expanded Head Start program, primary care and other healthcare services, healthcare occupation training, space for art studios, a café providing a culinary job training program, space for intergenerational engagement and performance opportunities, and a geriatric clinic and research center. The positive impacts expected from the new facility are made possible through ICAW’s collaboration with twenty-one community partners, who will utilize dedicated and shared space within the center.

A separate project to be completed is Goodwill Industries of Kentucky’s state-of-the-art Opportunity Campus in Louisville, KY, which opened in March 2024. The 124,266-square-foot Opportunity Campus allowed Goodwill Industries of Kentucky to relocate its headquarters and create a one-stop shop offering life-enhancing services for people residing in one of the state’s most severely distressed communities. Goodwill occupies part of the facility to provide essential services for housing, transportation, employment and soft skills development, and job placement. Organizations with similar social missions occupy the remainder of the facility, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana, YMCA of Greater Louisville, Volunteers of America, and Legal Aid. Along with creating a projected 70 new full-time jobs, an estimated 21,000 people, nearly all of whom are low-income, are projected to be served annually by Goodwill and partner organizations.
