A new and improved Center

In 2025, The Harry Tompson Center completed its $3.6M renovation, replacing temporary trailers with permanent hygiene facilities, medical offices, and counseling space that allows for more guests to receive housing, healthcare, hygiene, and hospitality services.

Over 150 individuals, foundations, and organizations supported our fundraising efforts and we could not be more thankful.

Major Gifts Appreciation Mural

HTC worked with local muralist, Madison Roy, to design a special work of art that carries the colors and jasmine canopy from our existing courtyard into our new space for guests and visitors to enjoy.

Each jasmine flower represents our leadership and major gift donors who contributed $25,000 or more to our campaign, helping to make our mission possible.

Hover over a flower to see its dedication.

  • Why HTC? Whether we like it or not, there are more and more people falling into homelessness. Not only does HTC have a loving and intentionally safe environment to welcome people and resources to help them, they have short and long term options for care to help people directly. We wholeheartedly support this campaign and appreciate and endorse HTC's efforts."
