ORLANDO - The Central Florida Coalition for the Homeless showed off its new Early Childhood Development Center on Friday after the center's director wrote a winning essay for a $100,000 makeover.

"Not only does our organization provide housing for the homeless, but it also provides free day care so that the parents may have an opportunity to finish their own schooling, attend rehabilitation if necessary, work or look for employment while their children are in a warm, nurturing environment," Director Vinnie Vivian wrote for the contest, sponsored by The Child Care Consultants, an advocate for safe and educational child care.

Operation Daycare Renovation, as it was dubbed, had more than 250 applicants from Central Florida.
