Grants for Ending Family Homelessness

Application Process and Due Date:

• Organizations wishing to submit a proposal (other than renewals) should call Robert Judd at 579-4073 x 15 to discuss their project before submitting an application.
• Applications are due at the Community Foundation by February 20, 2007
• NOTE: The period covered by EFH grants is changing in 2007: Current EFH grantees applying for renewal grants should assume a grant period starting September 1, 2007 and ending June 30 of 2008.

Ending Family Homelessness Grant Criteria:

• Grants of up to $30,000 over one year are available to organizations proposing projects to serve mothers with young children who either have experienced homelessness or who are at high risk for becoming homeless and for whom a program of long-term transitional services will enable the family to permanently end its homelessness.
• Projects for homeless mothers should address the transitional phase of recovery from homelessness and have ending homelessness as their primary outcome. Examples of programs meeting these criteria include those providing stable housing coupled with long-term support services, such as transitional housing programs and service-enriched shared housing programs.
• EFH grants are not intended to support services that are part of the emergency or shelter phase of services.

Ending Family Homelessness Grant awards will be announced in May. For new grantees, the grant period will be from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.
