ST. LOUIS — After a multiyear search, Peter & Paul Community Services, a nonprofit that provides housing and support services to people who are homeless, has acquired a new shelter location where it plans to expand.
The organization said Thursday it closed April 15 on the purchase of 3225 N. Florissant at Palm Street. The 4.5-acre site was the Little Sisters of the Poor nursing home complex until 2018.
The site now will be known as the Peter & Paul Community Campus, the nonprofit said. The complex's 188,000-square-foot facility includes an eight-story tower, a commercial kitchen and dining room; a 15-unit apartment building; a 26-room convent; a large chapel; multiple secured parking lots; and private green space, according to the release.
“This purchase means more than doubling our service footprint over the next few years from helping 116 people each night to more than 300,” PPCS board Chair Mike Banahan said.
