2009 N2N LifeLine Grant Awards
In winter 2009, United Way of Greater New Haven and The Jewish Federation of Greater New Haven joined together to help the growing number of families and individuals who found themselves facing food and housing insecurity in this economic downturn. Through the generosity of hundreds of donors and volunteers, $642,400 was raised and distributed over a 12 week period to support local agencies faced with significantly increased demand for emergency food and housing assistance.
Residents of twenty cities and towns in New Haven County received emergency housing, food and shelter services from non-profit, faith, and municipal organizations made possible by the fundraising efforts.
As a Result of 2009 Fundraising Efforts:
-
-
352 families are in homes that would have otherwise been lost or inaccessible due to foreclosure or other economic strains
-
Over 160,000 additional meals have been served to children and adults
-
290 families have received one-time emergency support to help them avert or pull-out of crises
