The Board of Directors of the Midnight Mission evaluated the issues facing its target population and the limitations of the current facility and after careful planning and study determined that they needed an additional 50,000 s.f. of program space. To address this need, the Midnight Mission Board launched a capital development program toward the construction of a new facility located in the downtown central area, at Sixth and San Pedro Streets. The program expands existing services to reach more individuals and develops new programs to respond to unmet needs of the service population.
