Catholic Charities Of Santa Rosa Diocese Selected for National partnership

News submitted from the Santa Rosa Catholic Charities:

Catholic Charities of Santa Rosa, which serves Sonoma and Napa counties, was chosen from over 250 applicants to be one of eight organizations across the country to participate in the Learning Partnership with the Corporation for Enterprise Development, a national nonprofit that aids low- and moderate-income households.

The 18-month partnership will run from this April through September 2016 and will foster multi-directional learning between CFED, Learning Partnership members and their larger communities

Catholic Charities serves six northern California counties through challenging poverty, helping immigrants and serving seniors. The financial services developed through this grant will be integrated throughout the agency, including their homeless service programs and will build on existing partnerships with the Human Services Department’s SonomaWorks programs.

This grant will allow for increased financial services to 5,000 residents.

Catholic Charities’ strong partnership with the Health Action Economic Wellness Initiative was a key component to the success of their application.
