Housing First Program Expands to Frederick County

IHA’s Housing First program, which began in Pennsylvania in January, leaped forward with a three-year Community Impact grant awarded from the United Way of Frederick County. IHA is now able to roll out FREE Financial Education classes to our residents and the community. IHA staff member, Jennifer Minnick, will continue to manage our two Frederick properties, Weinberg House senior apartments and Natelli Manor family apartments, in addition to managing the Frederick County Housing First program.

Jennifer is collaborating with financial professionals from the community to present topics such as budgeting, basic banking, fraud prevention, and credit/debt management. Our first workshop, “Living Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck,” will be held July 19th from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. This workshop will be led by Scott McCaskill, a certified financial planner. Learn more about Scott by visiting www.mccaskill-financial.com. We will also be offering a workshop for teenagers on banking basics in August, which will be presented by Woodsboro Bank’s Assistant Branch Manager, Kellie Putman. Other partners for future workshops include: Sherrie Smith, Nations Lending Corp.; Kyle Winkfield, The Winkfield Group; and Lisa Leckliter, ReMax Realty.

Please call Jennifer at 301-662-4225 x1216 if you are interested in volunteering as a presenter or if you would like to attend one of our upcoming workshops. For more information on the Housing First program please visit our website at http://www.interfaithhousing.org/programs/housing-first/

IHA Tenant Profile: Alice Buchanan the Weinberg House

By Jodie Ostoich • June 11, 2025
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.
