Ypsilanti’s Hope Clinic consolidates with new expansion

Hope Clinic in Ypsilanti has been growing since it first opened its doors in 1982, however, that growth has been sporadic and scattered. Today it’s looking to continue its expansion in one central location at a steady pace.The organization is investing $3.15 million to add 23,500 square feet in two floors to its headquarters at 518 Harriet St. That’s a big jump in space for the 3,500 square feet of the original building, which is also being renovated. “We want to build on our investment in this property,” says Cathy Robinson, executive director of Hope Clinic.This will allow Hope Clinic, which has a medical clinic, dental clinic and offers social services and help for the homeless, to move all of its operations under one roof. It currently offers those services at four different locations throughout the city.Construction recently started and is expected to wrap up early next year.
