FCPS Partners with IHA!
inte8821 • September 21, 2016
We are very excited to announce that Frederick County Public Schools recently signed a partnership agreement with Interfaith Housing Alliance.
IHA will sponsor a series of workshops called “Growing Strong Together.” The series is designed to support the unique needs of low-income mothers and their teenage daughters.
In addition, IHA will sponsor “Housing Matters,” a program that focuses on improving financial credit, budgeting and learning about savings to prepare students to be financially stable.
To learn more about Housing Matters and how IHA can partner with your organization, company or non-profit, contact Mary Ellen Mitchell, Director of Community Relations at 301.662.4225 x1211 or memitchell@interfaithhousing.org
Interfaith Housing Alliance (IHA) is proud to announce two funding awards received this quarter from community partners.
Alice Buchanan moved from Frederick, MD to North Carolina to take care of her daughter, Angela, who had kidney failure. Angela was in the Navy and served for 20 years when she retired. Upon Angela’s death, Alice stayed in North Carolina to raise her daughter’s children. When the children became adults, Alice wanted to come back “home” to Frederick, MD. Alice was looking for an apartment, so she asked her friend who was living in Frederick to help her with her search. Her friend connected Alice to Weinberg House. As soon as Alice heard there was a vacant unit she immediately returned to Frederick. Alice Buchanan moved into Weinberg House on May 12, 2015. Other than Alice, there is only one other person who has lived at Weinberg House since Alice moved in.
