Grace Youth and Family Foundation is ceasing operations as the Butler County Sheriff’s Office has scheduled the sale of its building at 100 Center Ave. Officials say the nonprofit’s founder, Bill Halle, has not paid its mortgage for two years.

The sale is scheduled for May 19, but Halle said Tuesday, May 9, that he doesn’t think the building will last that long on the market.

Halle founded Grace Youth and Family Foundation in 1994. A Facebook post by the foundation said it would not be operating its summer children’s program, and the adjoining Net Cafe is temporarily closing.

“We've closed all programming there. All 15 programs will close,” Halle said Tuesday.
