Adaptability Statement
30 out of 30 points
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
Freedom House, our long-term transition home expanded in 2021, going from serving two moms with kids to 7 women plus kids. We quickly realized that women needed to have a level of stability in order to be successful. When a woman and her children needed supports not provided, it created instability for all residents. As a result, in April 2023 we opened a short-term home for 2 women plus kids in an effort to serve at-risk women in need of more supports and in more crisis situations.
