The nearly $19 million multi-building campus is called the "New Day Intake Center," and will replace South Bend's "Motels4Now" program. Monday was the official groundbreaking for the New Day Intake Center. ABC57's Annie Kate asked Sheila McCarthy, who will be executive director, how the precursor to New Day, Motels4Now, got its start. Some of the funding for the New Day Intake Center comes from the city and American Rescue Plan dollars.
