The Hub was designed around a straightforward idea: the people who need help most shouldn’t have to navigate across town to get it.
Three organizations will share the space. VAC operates Waypoint shelter a (formerly Room at the Inn) which is a year-round, housing-first emergency shelter with 24/7 staffing, case management, and a clear pathway to permanent housing. A New Day Columbia Day Center—previously Turning Point, located at Wilkes Blvd. United Methodist Church—provides daytime services, community connection, and individual support. Loaves & Fishes serves hot meals every evening, no requirements, no questions.
Each organization is independent. Together, they make The Hub something none of them could build alone.
All services are now available at the Hub on the VAC Opportunity Campus — 1304 Bowling St., east of the city power plant off Business Loop 70 East.
