Scope Of Work
The empty Pinellas County Schools Harris TIPS School did not stay that way for long as it was the perfect vacant opportunity for Starting Right, Now to expand their resources from Hillsborough County into Pinellas County. It was also an excellent chance for both Ajax and local subcontractors to give back to a community they love and to a cause they respect. The project was funded entirely from donations.
The Ajax House at Haven , is a 11,230 square foot dormitory that houses unaccompanied youths attending high school. It contains separate boys and girls wings, a common area, full kitchen, dining room, training center and computer labs. The Ajax House at Haven is more than safe shelter for these kids, it is a supportive and stable home. Starting Right Now strives to teach them life skills such as financial literacy, offers one on one mentoring, supports them in their academic achievement and even assists them in finding employment.
