A NOTE FROM BRYAN

We’re gaining more momentum on some of the dreams and plans that have been in the works since our beginning. In all the anticipation, we’re reminded that God works everything together in His perfect timing. Read more about the updates on our programs in this month’s newsletter below, and join us in celebrating the journey towards a better future for our neighbors in our community.

TINY HOMES, BIG DEVELOPMENTS

Elevate Branson has been awarded a $1.9 million Community Development Block Grant from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, sending us full throttle towards continued progress on our tiny home village project, Elevate Community! We’re hosting a media event featuring Missouri Governor Mike Parson in June to celebrate reaching this milestone on our continued journey towards bringing affordable and sustainable housing to our community. We’re looking forward to all the future holds for this development!

HAVE A BLAST THIS SUMMER WITH ELEVATE KIDS!

Elevate Kids is hosting a summer school program June 2nd though July 28th. Students will be learning practical math and science, while also learning and developing important character traits and fine motor skills on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. Thanks to the help of Branson Schools, we’ll be learning AND having fun all summer long!

FINDING PURPOSE AND PURSUING DREAMS THROUGH ELEVATE WORK

We recently celebrated the graduation of the Elevate Work Class of May 2021. We’re so proud of our graduates!
