Ausherman Challenge Grant

Up to the Challenge?

The Ausherman Family Foundation recently awarded IHA a Challenge Grant. The grant matches funds raised dollar for dollar – which will create opportunities for greater permanent stability for families, individuals and seniors. Our goal is to meet this challenge by the end of our fiscal year, June 30th.

Recent donor support has assisted 18 families in becoming homeowners. 579 individuals were provided with financial education and housing counseling benefiting more than 1,600 of their family members. Contributions help to keep over 700 clients in rental housing through our apartment communities. The time has never been better to donate.

IHA with our partner, Conifer Realty, anticipate a 2015 ground breaking for the construction of a 71 unit apartment complex in Frederick. Additionally, IHA has been awarded competitive funding to construct 50 new family apartments in Chambersburg with partner PIRHL. Come grow with us!

In honor of IHA’s 25th anniversary year, which begins on July 11th, would you please consider supporting us with a gift in a denomination that includes a 25? You might choose $25, $250, $2500 or even $25 a month for the next 25 months. Your generosity makes a significant difference!

For more information about how to make a recurring donation, please contact our Director of Community Relations, Mary Ellen Mitchell at 301-662-4225 x1211 or memitchell@interfaithhousing.org.
Donations can be mailed to 731 North Market St., Frederick, MD 21701 or online at www.interfaithhousing.org. Thank you!

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.
