A new Community Assistance Resource Center with the mission to provide residents easy access to nonprofit services covering a wide range of needs is scheduled to open June 27.

The new facility is being built as an expansion of the Peoria Community Center, 8335 W. Jefferson St.

Senior Human Services Coordinator Debbie Pearson said construction began Jan. 2 and is expected to be completed on time, June 14.

“My dream is to have our center very coordinated with Surprise and Avondale, so the west side is offering the right kind and the right amount of services,” she said. “And if we don’t have ours on one day, we would know the schedules and be able to cross-refer with each other and with the organizations.”
