We are thrilled to announce Operation Hope is an awardee of an Impact 2023 grant from United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut (UWCWC). Selection criteria included innovation, partner collaboration, and a commitment to solve problems and advance equity in one of United Way’s focus areas: health, education, and financial stability. We are honored to be selected among the organizations noted to empower people to thrive in Fairfield County.
We are grateful to community partner UWCWC for its continued support of our efforts to help secure housing and financial stability for our clients. This grant will help four homeless households obtain safe affordable housing and begin to rebuild their lives from a place of stability.
According to Carla Miklos, Executive Director of Operation Hope, “Everyone deserves an opportunity for positive change, and that starts with a stable home. This United Way grant will help four of our clients find both housing and financial stability at the same time, since once stably housed, clients are able to gain, keep and increase employment.”
