About the Triangle of Hope
The Mazzini Charitable Foundation is actively partnering with the Mercy Center for Women and Build CDC in a collaboration called “The Triangle of Hope,” to address the difficulty of homelessness in Erie. The Washington School, Sacred Heart, and Saint Paul projects are not just about restoring and repurposing buildings. They are about restoring dignity, fostering community connections, and transforming lives. And when finished, they will represent what can happen when organizations come together with a shared vision and commitment to the common good.
