SEARCH Homeless Services recently celebrated the grand opening of its new headquarters with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1712 Pease Street in downtown Houston, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s mission to provide long-term housing solutions and support services for individuals experiencing homelessness throughout the Houston region.

The project included a 53,000-square-foot headquarters expansion and renovation, transforming the campus into a purpose-built environment designed to support SEARCH’s growing operations, community programs, and housing-first service model. The redevelopment features new office and program space, expanded parking, and improved connectivity between existing and newly constructed facilities, creating a more welcoming and functional campus for clients, staff, volunteers, and community partners.

Designed to support collaboration, accessibility, and long-term organizational growth, the new headquarters serves as a central hub for SEARCH’s comprehensive services, which help individuals transition from homelessness to stable housing, employment, and self-sufficiency. The facility reflects the organization’s commitment to providing spaces that foster dignity, hope, and opportunity while enhancing its ability to serve the Houston community for years to come.

The project team, including O’Donnell/Snider Construction (OSC), Tramonte Design Studio, and SEARCH leadership, worked closely together to create a facility that aligns with SEARCH’s mission and operational goals. Through thoughtful planning and community-focused design, the project transformed a necessary relocation into an opportunity to create a lasting resource for Houston residents in need.

With over 35 years of experience as a Houston commercial contractor, OSC specializes in delivering projects that support nonprofit organizations, community service providers, workplace environments, and mission-driven facilities. The SEARCH headquarters demonstrates how strategic planning, collaboration, and construction expertise can create spaces that strengthen organizations and expand their impact on the communities they serve.

For decades, SEARCH Homeless Services has been a leader in addressing homelessness through a housing-first approach supported by wraparound services. The new headquarters reinforces that commitment by providing the infrastructure necessary to support future growth, enhance service delivery, and create lasting positive change throughout the Greater Houston area.

This transformative project represents more than a building—it is an investment in Houston’s future and a space designed to help individuals and families find stability, opportunity, and a place to call home.
