The Weld Trust Awards more than $2.8M in grants

GREELEY — The Weld Trust awarded more than $2.8 million in health and education grants to nonprofit organizations and schools in Weld County in the fourth quarter, focusing on housing stability and access to resources.

The Housing Stability grants were awarded to 12 organizations that work with the most-vulnerable homeless populations. The grants support programs to provide transitional housing assistance, wrap-around care with case managers, and direct financial assistance. The case managers provide supportive services to foster stable housing.

The housing population served by the grants includes disabled persons, victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking, as well as evicted families.
