In anticipation of United Way of Greater New Haven's administration of federal funds under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (EFSP) for fiscal year 2011, a competitive application process for New Haven County nonprofits, faith-based, and government agencies is accepting proposals for emergency services program funding.Other organizations such as smaller emerging nonprofits are encouraged to apply in partnership with an eligible 501(c)3 organization that agrees to serve as the fiscal agent for the grant.
With such dire financial strains encroached around the homes of so many, greater New Haven nonprofits are preparing to help more individuals and families than ever before acquire and maintain housing through the winter and up to 15 months thereafter. Thanks to an infusion of American Recovery Re-Investment Act, Greater New Haven nonprofits will be able to meet our communities increasing demand for emergency permanent housing assistance to individuals and families on the brink of homelessness or currently residing in emergency shelters.
