Ribbon Cutting!
I was out in the community this past week. I attended the ribbon-cutting of the new hearing center as well as the ceremony at Hope House in Rock Hall. Hope House will be providing food and clothing for our neighbors in need. I also spoke with the pastor of the church that is running Hope House about possible volunteer opportunities for their congregation!
Vic and I are meeting with Kent Attainable Housing later today to continue the conversation about how our two organizations might partner in the future.
USDA Seeks Applications for Grants to Help Repair Housing in Rural Communities
The USDA has just opened the grant application process. This is a grant we first received in 2019. We received $50,000 in 2020 with 15% being available for “admin” costs. The deadline is July 7, so this is a quick turnaround! Stay tuned
I’ve shared this link before, and here it is again > Current Repair Activity Summary
Here is a NEW “Grant Summary 2021” link > Grant Summary 2021
Our focus this month is on obtaining contractor bids and estimates for all of the projects we have lined up. It promises to be a busy summer!
