Action for funding:
In May of 2019, the Board set aside funding of $70,000 to be focused towards youth homelessness. The Community Impact Committee presented a recommendation to fund three programs (TeamChild, Excelsior Wellness Center, and Volunteers of America). Today, the Board approved this funding recommendation.
