For Gerard's House, this funding partnership means a decrease from five grant applications, contracts and reports to just one focused on supporting our work with meaningful accountability. Thank you for believing in the families that we have the honor or serving and for expressing that belief through such generous action.
Thank you for seeing the value in our efforts at Casa Milagro to house and support our most vulnerable neighbors. It's a mission that can feel so heavy at times and, of course, so rewarding when we see connections form where there had only been isolation, and a sparkle return to eyes where it had been lost.
Pregnant women and their families need services now more than ever. The CHFA Health Impact Grant helps Las Cumbres to stabilize our current programs, and expand capacity. The decrease in administrative burden from combined application and reporting with meaningful accountability that supports our programs goals means that we can continue to focus on the essential work of providing care to families who need us.
