A ceremonial groundbreaking Wednesday in Lexington marked the beginning of a transitional housing project. A major focus remains on housing homeless veterans.
An addition to the Hope Center in Lexington will feature 72 beds. 24 of those beds will be designated specifically for veterans. Hope Center Executive Director Rufus Friday said the shelter hasn’t changed structurally since it opened 30 years ago. He said the new area will set the stage for the next 30 years.
