Foundation Stable Homes Grant Helps More Than 140 Families
The Freddie Mac Foundation continues to be a leading investor in nonprofit organizations that help vulnerable Washington-area families. Foundation grants are helping those families find and maintain housing with the supportive services they need to become stable and self-sufficient.
A recent grant to INMED Partnerships for Children and its Opening Doors program, for example, is the latest Foundation award to nonprofit groups to stabilize the lives of families through housing and supportive services. The $100,000 grant will help the Loudoun County, Va., organization provide a variety of services to more than 140 families with young children living in homeless shelters or transitional housing.
Foundation grants will also focus on those groups that support foster care, adoption, and academic and career success. View The Washington Post article.
"Supporting the communities in which we live during these stressful times is more important than ever," said Ralph Boyd, president and CEO of the Freddie Mac Foundation. "We're happy to be able to help these groups continue their critical work particularly during this very challenging time."
