In about one year, millions of dollars have been raised toward the $6.4 million capital campaign for Eau Claire’s first year-round homeless shelter, the Day Resource Center (DRC).
As announced in a May 14 media release, another $600,000 in State grant funds – awarded as part of the Non-State Grant Program – has been added to that total, which now sits at $5.3 million.
In just the first four months of 2026 – nearly all of the DRC’s operational history; its first day open was Dec. 29, 2025 – the DRC has consistently averaged 80-100 guests per day, more than initially anticipated.
As a nonprofit-operated service, the DRC does not depend on taxpayer dollars through the City, County or State. It aims to offer multiple services under one roof while not duplicating those offered elsewhere in Eau Claire.
