COMPETITIVE GRANTS
HEALTH, HOUSING AND
HUMAN SERVICES
We work to improve the quality of life for all residents of our communities. Our grants support programs across the entire housing spectrum: to prevent and end homelessness; boost affordable rental housing; prevent widespread foreclosure that hollows out neighborhoods. They help keep people healthier: provide greater access to quality care, reduce chronic disease. Our grants help fight hunger with a stronger network of food pantries, meal programs and fresh produce for food deserts. They support programs reforming the justice system and reducing crime rates to make neighborhoods safer.
