Cindy Funkhouser, president and CEO of Sulzbacher Center, told a meeting of Downtown business leaders that residents have had to be evacuated and the campus was damaged in the last two hurricanes because the current location was left under more than 4 feet of water. The goal is to create a space like the Sulzbacher Village for women and families with permanent housing, short term units and wraparound services, like health care and job training, Funkhouser said. The project would be completed in phases, starting with the social enterprise business, then the permanent housing and then adding all the wraparound services and emergency housing. So we’re looking for the solutions, which is jobs and housing,” Funkhouser said.
