Joshua Group Losing Its Temporary Home

The Joshua Group will soon be without a home again by the end of the month, according to its Director Kathy Curwin. 

She says they're just found out they will no longer be able to use the Somerset Community Centre in the north end after the next two weekends because of cuts to the city's recreation budget.

Joshua Group founder Bobby Hayes doesn't blame the city saying it did all it could to help out but he has no idea what will happen next. 

The Joshua Group has been there temporarily since November of 2010. It recently launched a fundraising campaign to raise enough money to buy the Old Peacock's property on Sandy Point Road.

Hayes concedes they wopuld have to raise another 100 thousand dollars in order to move into the Peacock's building and that's a tall order with alot of community help needed.
