We're home! Today we moved into The Family Center's new Manhattan office at 315 West 36th Street. It's everything that we'd dreamed of -and more.

The entrance and our beautiful sign.

A peak through the front doors into our reception area.

Our play therapy room, where children can be themselves.

Our pantry area - plenty of room to relax and enjoy your meal.

Our family therapy room with chairs for people of all sizes!

Thanks for visiting! Come again soon -we will keep blogging until The Family Center is completely settled into our new home.

We are moving forward with our construction by leaps and bounds! Below you can view photos of our pantry and bathrooms, as they take shape. The doors to our reception area have also been installed. Our move-in date has been set for Monday, November 12th. As of then, our address will be 315 West 36th Street. We can't wait to show all of our supporters our beautiful new space!

Some time has passed since our last blog, and we have been making lots of progress! The wallboards are up and we have begun working on the bathrooms. You can also see below how our new windows open up. We are so excited about our new home and thank you for sharing this excitement.

Here are the beautiful wallboards in our group room, where our families receive group counseling, connect with one another and even enjoy nutritious meals.

This is not just any hole in the wall! It's where our two-way mirror will be. We use this two-way mirror to provide our social workers with live clinical supervision in family therapy. They are on one side of the mirror while the family therapy takes place on the other side.

Construction has begun! On July 11th, we began building our new home at 315 West 36th Street. Our contractor, Leeside Clan, which also sponsored our big fundraiser BLOOM 2007, has installed the wall frames. We also have new windows. You can see all of this progress in the photos below. As always, thanks for your support and interest in our Capital Campaign! Visit our Relocation Blog again soon.
