Empower New Haven Receives New Money for Mission

It wasn't clear what would happen to Empower New Haven as the organization approaches the end of its 10 year authorization through the federal government.  The news of a $1 million dollar grant of stimulus dollars to Empower New Haven (ENH) to continue its work provides new opportunity for this vibrant New Haven organization.

"The grant will bring $1 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to ENH by way of the Department of Health and Human Services. ENH will use the money to assist local non-profits that work in three areas: job training, asset building, and public income assistance. ENH will be providing grants directly to qualifying local agencies and working with them on strategic planning and development.

The Empower New Haven board of directors must still decide the future of the organization.  Read more of the New Haven Independent's news story. Visit the Empower New Haven website.
