Brunswick Partnership for Housing Announces Open House

The Brunswick Partnership for Housing (BPH) is delighted to extend a community invitation to the Felton-Russell House open house. This is BPH’s first building to provide transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. 

The open house is Sunday, July 30 from 10 am -1 pm at 250 E. 11th Street, Southport. Light refreshments will be served, and guests are asked to bring nonperishable food items to help stock the apartment kitchens.

The Felton-Russell house, named in honor of long-time advocates Rebecca Felton and Rick Russell, includes four apartments: one two-bedroom, two one-bedroom and one handicapped accessible one-bedroom. In addition, there is a family activity area, laundry room and the BPH administrative office. BPH executive director, Sally Learned expects the building to open to clients in early August.

“Thanks to the generosity of the community, we are opening a newly renovated building to serve the Brunswick County homeless population. We are now able to serve individuals and families who need a hand up as they seek permanent, affordable housing.

“This building is possible through the hard work and generosity of so many, including Southport leadership, contractors, churches and of course the community at large who support our fundraising efforts. We are grateful and excited to get started,” said Learned.

In addition to the new building, BPH is introducing a new logo and redesigned website.
