Second Heart Homes has received a $20,800 grant from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation that will add a new volunteer coordinator and case manager positions and support homelessness data requirements to better serve clients and the community.
“We are grateful for the Gulf Coast Community Foundation’s generous grant,” said Megan Howell, founder and executive director of Second Heart Homes. “The new positions will enable us to expand our services to more homeless adults with mental health issues, including implementing our new program for women.”
Second Heart Homes provides housing and critical support services to adult Sarasota homeless residents with mental health issues.
“In addition, the grant will help us track progress and outcomes to enhance the response across the continuum of care to assist those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness,” Howell said.
Second Heart Homes clients come to the nonprofit based on their commitment to address their mental and physical health, remain sober and achieve personal goals toward self-sufficiency. For information and to donate, visit secondhearthomes.org.
