CPS building ready for open house
The Warm Springs com-
munity is invited to an open
house and blessing of the
wholly renovated Children’s
Protective Services building.
The open house will be
this Friday, March 30 from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The CPS building is new
in that the interior and exte-
rior have been completely
renovated: New floors and
ceilings, windows, paint, fur-
niture, and exterior im-
provements.
Renovation of the CPS
building was a long-standing
need of the tribes. “We
need a space as safe and

pleasant as possible for the
children and families,” as
stated by Alyssa Macy, Chief
Operations Officer.
The original idea for CPS,
back in 2010, was to build a
new facility, and at the time
be provided. The
meeting begins at 6
p.m., Hosted by the
Range and Agriculture
Committee.
CPS began setting aside
funding for the project.
Unfortunately it never hap-
pened. Then last year tribal
management, CPS and Coun-
cil weighed the options, and
decided on a renovation of
the existing building, plus the
addition of an adjacent tran-
sition facility in the Vern Jack-
son, also remodeled.
The CPS work began last
winter, done by War m
Springs Construction.
They were putting finish-
ing touches up until a couple
of weeks ago, and the build-
ing is now complete.
