Kid Net Foundation — Jonathan's Place

September 2003 — Joe Funk Construction Engineers is proud to announce its association with Kid Net Foundation as we begin construction responsibilities over the next several months to complete their exciting expansion effort. This wonderful non-profit organization, founded in 1991, and started by Lisa Matthews and Phil Matteis, provides an extensive array of much-needed residential and outreach services throughout Dallas County especially for young children and infants who suffer from abuse and neglect.

The cornerstone and most visible aspect of Kid Net Foundation is Jonathan's Place, a licensed emergency shelter located in Garland, Texas. Jonathan's Place provides temporary transitional living services for children and the goal is to increase the current number of beds as soon as funding is arranged to accommodate a total of 1000 children annually.

Joe Funk Construction Engineers, working closely with Bill Larson of Bill Larson Architects, is embarking on Phases 2 and 3 of the expansion that will add approximately 24,728 square feet of new space. In addition to four new buildings and a storage facility for Jonathan's Place, our firm's services include site work, parking, paving, landscaping, utilities, and the development of a new playground area. Some of the new space will house administrative and fundraising staff who are supporting the fine work of this growing organization.
