Monument Impact is picking up the pieces after a Sunday night fire destroyed part of its Keller House office in Concord.
The community-based nonprofit — whose mission statement says it is dedicated to building skills, resources and power within immigrant, refugee and low-income communities — said on social media that during Sunday’s powerful storm, a homeless person had camped out under the porch and lit a fire to stay warm in the intense storm.
The high winds accidentally spread the fire to the building, destroying the back office and leaving the space unsafe for staff and community members.
No one was hurt.
“The Keller House is a popular site for people to walk in for assistance and questions, especially when they don’t have access to a computer,” Monument Impact wrote on social media. “We hope to rebuild Keller House as soon as possible to have the space available for community members to walk in and talk to our staff directly about housing support and services.”
“We’re working with the City of Concord to rebuild and re-open our Keller House office for community members to walk-in as soon as possible. To offset unexpected office rental costs for a temporary office in Concord, we are launching a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $6,000 by the end of the month,” the nonprofit said. “We hope you can support however you can. Thank you in advance.”

Being poor sucks. Can’t recommend it.
Its a life choice and nothing else.If youre poor from too many kids,again,a life choice,
Poor people spend thousands per month on drugs.
Smart people make money.
Dumb people dont.
When a country sends hundreds of thousands of people to America,its not sending anything smart,thus,the dumbing down of the USA.
This is why all phone can get internet on them
None of these people could ever figure out how to start up a computer.
They were even crying racism.
But Obama came along and saved them……
Living in this country is too expensive. Every time they raise the minimum prices of stuff go up, so what’s the point? Minimum wage workers still can’t afford it. It’s all a “good timer” show put on by the politicos. One dimensional thinking. And then there is greed by the elite who thing they are “special”. This country is on a one way trip to go over the cliff. 😡
or “think they are “special”.
The people they are”helping’ set the place on fire.
So i can just set buildings on fire and tell em I’m ” experiencing homelessness ” and i wont be charged with arson ? Good to know
Why doesn’t their insurance cover the damage? They’re as bad as the people they are trying to help…. Mooching money.
No insurance? How can that be? And why did you let someone live under the porch?
