For eight years, the North County LGBTQ Resource Center has been working out of a small space in Oceanside. Now, the “little center that could” is hoping to purchase a new property on Apple Street — one with a history of service to the community.
For eight years, the North County LGBTQ Resource center has been working out of a small space off Mission Avenue in Oceanside.Initially, the center plans to move into the space as tenants in September, and finalize a purchase by the end of the year.The price tag for the property is $4.5 million, and the center needs to come up with $800,000 for a down payment. So the center is turning to the community for help.
The site has provided services before. It housed the Bread of Life soup kitchen and pantry before that was taken over and dissolved by the San Diego Rescue Mission. The center has launched a major gift campaign, with a goal of $1.3 million to be raised by the end of the year. It would not only cover the down payment, but also repairs and renovations to the 18,000-square-foot property, which is nearly empty.Three tenants are leasing spaces on the plaza, and their leases will continue even after the North County LGBTQ Resource Center moves in and closes escrow.
