Friends Association for Care and Protection of Children

The Connelly Foundation awarded a $25,000, two-year grant to the Friends Association to be used for the Homeless to Independence initiatives.

The grant will be used by case managers working with each family to build on their existing strengths and help them identify education and services that they need to successfully transition from poverty/homelessness to permanent housing and financial self-sufficiency.

“More than 780 children and their parents experience homelessness in Chester County each year, with an additional 1,900 children and their parents facing eviction,” said Catherine Friedman, the Friends Association’s Executive Director. “We are grateful for the support from the Connelly Foundation for new initiatives that help us to continue to grow to meet the needs of our community.”
