IN THE MEDIA: SOPHIA'S HEART FACILITY IN NASHVILLE

Danny Gokey could hardly contain his excitement as he took guests on a whirlwind tour of the new Sophia's Heart facility in Nashville on Tuesday (February 1st). The 77,000-square foot building will be the base for his Compassion Nashville project.

"We just put our first homeless family here this week," Danny told The Boot. "Our goal is to not just provide them housing but give them programs that help them to return as a viable part of the community."

Among the programs for adults that Sophia's Heart will offer are GED tutoring and life skills, including financial training and how to approach finding a job. The facility will also off a variety of after-school music and arts programs for children from the surrounding community, including contemporary dance, audio & video recording, engineering classes, fashion design and choir.
