What Rita Has Been Up To
In honor of World Homelessness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month, my focus has been on street outreach, supporting survivors of domestic violence, and preventing eviction.
I have also been actively writing grants to secure funding that provides essential resources to individuals and families in need.
I’m grateful to share that I have successfully placed single mothers into affordable housing, provided them with move-in assistance, and advocate on behalf of single mothers to ensure they have access to rental assistance. Every step is part of our mission to help families find stability, hope, and a path toward lasting prosperity.
