Ascension House, located at 150 Pleasant St. in Attleboro, MA is a new emergency overnight shelter than can house 18 guests on the first floor and 22 permanent supportive housing units on the second floor. It was named Ascension House as Ascension means “to rise up”. NeighborWorks purchased the land and assisted in building the building.
Completion Date – February 2025
Cost – $6 mil.
Developer – NeighborWorks Housing Solutions
Architect – WestWork
Working once again for non-profit housing developer NeighborWorks Housing Solutions, Curtis Construction was hired to demolish an existing two-story office building under a tight deadline and proceed to construct a new 3-story wood frame apartment building with 22 Studio Efficiency Apartments and an Homeless Resource Center (HRC) with an 18 bed capacity on a 16,000 square foot lot.
Dealing with the restrictions of a very tight site, Curtis pressed forward to get the foundation in and utilities onsite from busy Route 123 before a street opening moratorium went effect.
The completed building features studio apartments with kitchettes and bathrooms for the building’s long term residents as well a thoughtful separate space for the 18 bed dormitory in the Housing Resource Center section of the building and its accompanying staff offices.
