ECHO selected for $65,000 grant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Blackhawk Region) \u2013 United Way Blackhawk Region (UWBR) approved a grant as result of its requests for proposals from local nonprofit organizations to implement a Housing and Resource Navigator position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Housing and Resource Navigator helps clients to develop an action plan in order to secure safe, affordable and sustainable housing based on their unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Way\u2019s volunteer Community Impact Council reviewed applications as part of its competitive process and selected ECHO as the grant recipient, awarding $65,000. This investment, from United Way\u2019s reserve funds, is over and above its current 2021-2023 Community Grants investment (more than $3.1 million dollars) to further address the critical needs of the Blackhawk Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cECHO is a trusted community partner and has a proven track record of providing effective Housing and Resource Navigator services for the past two years,\u201d said United Way Blackhawk Region President and CEO Mary Fanning-Penny. \u201cUnited Way donors expect results and our volunteers were impressed by ECHO\u2019s approach to the challenges of limited housing for income constrained families and homeless individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing and Resource Navigators play a key role connecting individuals and families with a safe place to call home. They build relationships with landlords and property managers, assist program participants with housing searches, connect clients to available resources, lend assistance and advocacy to help people overcome barriers to achieve their housing goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are currently accepting applications for the Navigator position,\u201d said ECHO Executive Director Jessica Locher. \u201cECHO is grateful to United Way for this grant funding, as we now manage two Housing and Resource Navigator positions in the Blackhawk Region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United Way understands the criticality of this issue and serving our most vulnerable neighbors. As always, United Way\u2019s ability to fulfill and grow our commitment to the community is contingent upon the generous financial support of individual donors, corporate partners, and successful workplace campaigns.
