Cornerstone purchased this building at 93 East Main Street in Rockville. The historic building was formerly the Tri-Town Shelter and has sat vacant for many years. It is located next door to the Cornerstone Overnight Shelter.

Currently we are in the process of seeking funding for renovations and maintenance and thankfully have had some organizations and individuals donate their time and talent and work is being done. Much more work is needed.
