CF congressionally directed grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service has awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) to Volunteers of America Western Washington (VOAWW). The grant funding will support the construction, enlargement, extension, or improvement of community facilities that provide essential services to rural residents in the Everett, WA area. As a non-profit organization, VOAWW has a history of receiving and administering federal grants to deliver social services aligned with its mission, including over $3 million in grants from HUD and HHS as a prime recipient. VOAWW has also served as a subrecipient, helping to distribute funding and services from over 20 federal grants related to food access, housing stability, childcare, and other assistance for at-risk groups. This new grant award will enable VOAWW to continue its work in providing nutritional, housing, child welfare, substance abuse, and other critical support services to vulnerable communities in the Everett area.
