The GEDCO Cares Women and Children Eviction Project Emergency Services/Workforce Development

Emergency Services/Workforce Development​​

Grant: $25,000

Govens Ecumenical Development Corporation, GEDCO, is a community organization that provides affordable housing, supporting services and emergency assistance to community residents. Last year, 260 people received funding for eviction prevention, enabling 1,855 children to remain in their homes. Our grant funds will enable GEDCO CARES to serve additional women and children by preventing eviction and placing 50 women in jobs paying at least $15.00 per hour. Wraparound services foster growth toward personal independence.
