Over the past few months ABRI/Homes for the Brave has been awarded three grants to help enhance program development. Here is some information on the wonderful foundations that have contributed to our cause of ending homelessness among Veterans…
Dominion Foundation
ABRI/Homes for the Brave has just recently received a $25,000 grant from the Dominion Foundation. To Dominion, recognizing the critical needs of all members of a society is the true measure of a community and a company. Dominion and its operating companies are involved in developing and supporting programs and organizations that provide the health and human services our communities require. The $25,000 will go toward the general funding of the Female Soldiers: Forgotten Heroes program.
Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program
ABRI/Homes for the Brave has received a grant from The WorkPlace, Inc. to provide services under the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP). The purpose of HVRP is to provide services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment within the labor force and to stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans. Eligible Veterans will receive a variety of services under this program including, but not limited to, Case Management, Job Search Assistance, Counseling and Vocational Guidance, and Follow-up. Homes for the Brave staff will also assist program participants to access training opportunities offered through a number of federally funded programs.
van Ameringen Foundation
ABRI/Homes for the Brave has received a grant of $50,000 from the van Ameringen Foundation. This foundation is a private grant making association located in New York City. van Ameringen funds direct care in the mental-health field, with an emphasis on those individuals and populations having an impoverished background and few opportunities. The funding from this grant will go toward the staffing for the Female Soldiers: Forgotten Heroes program.
