Casa El Norte gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Niagara Community Foundation (NCF); a public foundation serving the people of Niagara since 2000. NCF connects donors to causes and communities to resources through permanent endowment funds, providing grants to eligible charitable organizations in culture, health, education, environment, recreation and social service sectors. NCF turns intent into impact.
The NCF grant will allow for the establishment of a seamless continuum of services to support individuals living in poverty in Fort Erie ensuring that resources are coordinated, service gaps are identified, and duplication is minimized. Our community needs assessment will map existing programs, identify service gaps, and highlight volunteer, staffing, and partnership opportunities.
The goal is to develop a clear roadmap for implementing coordinated, community-based services that respond to urgent needs for housing and food security, while fostering long-term stability and resilience for individuals and families experiencing poverty.
