Carson City FISH sets groundbreaking for housing project
FISH will break ground on 36 apartment units to support residents who want to return to school and enter the skilled labor market. Proceeds from the groundbreaking and fundraiser on May 21 will support the project.
Friends in Service Helping, a Carson City nonprofit, will host a groundbreaking for its transitional housing project May 21. FISH will be demolishing the Whistle Stop Inn on 1421 N. Carson St. to build new apartment-style units that will benefit participants in their Fast Forward 4 Families program. FF4F is designed to support residents while they seek skills training in under-staffed local industries, like healthcare, construction management, technology, and other trades. After the groundbreaking ceremony, FISH will hold its annual Have a Heart fundraiser. Local celebrities will serve dinner and compete for guests’ tips. Tickets for the dinner are $80 per person, $150 for couples, and $600 for a table of eight people. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., with the groundbreaking at 5 p.m. and the dinner and raffle at 5:30 p.m. The groundbreaking and fundraiser will both take place at the Whistle Stop Inn.
