A huge thank you to everyone at The Christ Foundation for your recent grant supporting our work in direct, emergency crisis-intervention services and stabilization programs for the people who need it most in Dayton & Montgomery County.

The specific programmatic use of the grant funds spans our five core program services:

The services we provide, and the lives that are changed, wouldn't be possible without generous support from grants like this!

And it’s not just traditional museums! There are children’s museums, science centers, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and all kinds of places that participate.

There are so many programs and resources out there that people just don’t know about, so we're passing this one along!

Sharing this post from Miami Valley Community Action Partnership. Stable housing is foundational to individual, family, and community well-being. As this process moves forward, strong local partnerships will be essential. We're thankful for the partnerships we have across the Dayton region that allow us to Work collaboratively towards improving lives of the most vulnerable in our community!

Federal homelessness funding changes are beginning to draw attention across Ohio and the nation.

The HUD Continuum of Care program is one of the primary federal funding sources that supports local homelessness response systems, including some housing and supportive services connected to MVCAP’s local homelessness response work. This year’s federal funding competition includes significant changes that communities across the country are working to understand.

The full local impact is not yet known. MVCAP is monitoring this closely and staying connected with community partners – including Coalition On Homelessness and Housing in Ohio, which helps lead Continuum of Care efforts in Ohio -- so we can better understand what these changes may mean for the people and families served across our region.

Stable housing is foundational to individual, family, and community well-being. As this process moves forward, strong local partnerships will be essential.
