Star House and Finance Fund’s application for the State Farm Neighborhood Assist® Program has been selected as one of 200 finalists from across the country! 100 finalists will receive $25,000 grants this year. We need you to rally behind our cause and cast your votes to help us in supporting youth exiting homelessness in Central Ohio!
A gift in the amount of $25,000 will enable us to support the installation of laundry facilities and outdoor recreation, security, and beautification features at Carol Stewart Village (CSV), our neighborhood for young adults, ages 18-24, with on-site programs and services. CSV offers 62 studio apartments with on-site access to transitional jobs, education, health care, mental health and addiction services and social connections through mentorships, peer support and community engagement options.
Voting opens today and runs through May 6. You can vote up to 10 times per day, every day for our cause. Winners will be announced on June 7. Thank you for your support—we can't do this without you! VOTE HERE!
