Affordable Housing Development Project
Saint Mark’s is in preconstruction planning to redevelop the Saint Nicholas property for affordable housing, welcoming those previously excluded from the immediate neighborhood due to systemic housing inequities and discriminatory practices.
Donna Jean’s Place
Donna Jean’s Place is a women’s shelter housed on Saint Mark’s campus in partnership with Operation Nightwatch. Women in the shelter receive a hot meal and assistance from a case manager. Saint Mark's members are welcome to volunteer in a variety of ways to support this ministry.
