Just to update everyone. As of yesterday noon, the grant for an emergency shelter for runaway and homeless youth was done. It took another 10 hours of solving every technology problem imaginable before it was actually submitted into grants.gov and we had the receipt of them receiving the grant in our email box. The deadline was 4:30 today EST. So we are relieved.

Now the real work begins. . . .and the list is long – of things we can do while we wait. We will not be notified until Sept. 30 whether we’ll get the grant or not. In the mean time, the plan is to write 2 very small grants (and much easier) for some furnishings and new boiler.

For our next meeting, I propose that I share the details of the project, our role, and commitment.
