Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Wilmington received 2 grants from the Home4Good program. $150,000 was awarded to support the agency’s Homelessness Prevention program, and $75,000 was provided for Rapid Rehousing. Home4Good is jointly offered by the FHLB-Pittsburgh and the Delaware State Housing Authority to help those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by directing funds to local service organizations that can help.

The awards will allow Catholic Charities to continue working with low and very low-income individuals to address conditions which threaten housing security. Catholic Charities will provide evidence-based services to reduce poverty, provide safe shelter, and encourage self-sufficiency through financial assistance, case management, and referrals to community services.

Ruth White, Executive Director of Catholic Charities, said “Catholic Charities sincerely appreciates this support from the Home4Good Program. The funds will enable us to provide critical services to assist many individuals in our community to remain housed.”

Catholic Charities’ mission is to compassionately serve all people in their times of vulnerability. Services are offered to alleviate human suffering and advocate for strong, healthy and vibrant communities across Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
