The announcement last week by Health and Human Services/Administration for Children and Families of its Community-Centered Healthy Marriage and Relationships grants spells good news for Californians, as Healthy Relationships California is one of only four organizations in the country receiving the top award of $2.5 million a year for the next three years.
The new grant focuses on low-income populations in nine of California’s largest counties—Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Riverside, Alameda, Fresno and Monterey. Services will include a variety of age-appropriate research-based Relationship and Marriage Education courses for couples and individuals, along with job/career-support training and employment services.
“We’re very pleased with this new funding as it enables us to provide proven relationship skills programs that will help families handle the stresses of the economic downturn” says Patty Howell, the organization’s vice president and project director for this new grant.
