Yesterday, we surprised Bradley Holmes.
For years, Bradley has been a steady presence in the Clay Terrace and Richardson Dwellings community, mentoring young boys, running anti-violence groups, and showing up for families when they needed someone most.
He's a neighborhood resident. A Sasha Bruce team member. And a quiet force who has shaped countless lives in Ward 7.
So yesterday, we renamed our Family Success Center in his honor.
It's now the Holmes Richardson Center.
Bradley didn't know it was coming. And when our Chief of Programs, Donnell revealed the sign, the moment said everything.
For more than a decade, this Center has been a hub for families in Ward 7, providing food access, workforce support, youth programming, and the kind of consistent care that keeps families stable and youth safely housed.
Last year, we served 325 residents.
A few years ago, we lost city funding. But we kept the doors open, because this community deserves support that doesn't disappear when budgets shift.
Thank you, Bradley, for everything you've given to this neighborhood.
And thank you to the families of Clay Terrace and Lincoln Heights for letting us be part of your community.
The Holmes Richardson Center is here to stay.
