Quarterly Grant Review - Spring 2022

Rachel Gardner • February 28, 2022

IHA is PROUD to announce three funding awards received this past quarter from our community partners!

In November 2021, IHA was awarded a $20,000 grant by Delaplaine Foundation, Inc.  This grant supports IHA’s full range of Financial Dignity & Empowerment Services, which are designed to improve financial and housing stability for low- to moderate-income (LMI) households.  These programs serve seniors, working families, and individuals through educational workshops, one-on-one financial coaching and housing counseling, and connections to affordable housing opportunities and community resources.   

 

In January 2022, IHA received two funding awards in support of its Credit Café program.  These included a $2,000 Service Partnership Grant awarded by The Rotary Club of Frederick and a renewal of IHA’s $5,000 partnership agreement with United Way of Frederick County and The Prosperity Center.  Credit Café promotes financial stability among LMI households through group credit education and free, individualized credit advising.  Participants partner with a financial coach to create a strategic plan to either build, boost, or improve their credit. 

Interfaith Housing Alliance (IHA) is proud to announce two funding awards.

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.
