Grand Opening: Family Navigation Center — A Place That Feels Like a Hug When Sparkflight Studios first broke ground on the  Family Navigation Center , we envisioned more than a building — we aspired to create a place that would  feel like a hug.  On September 30, that vision came to life as Family Promise of Las Vegas, local leaders, and community partners gathered to celebrate the grand opening of this transformative new resource for families seeking stability, safety, and hope.
