In May 2020, NNCC created the Family Emergency Fund to provide critical financial support to families in the form of low-barrier, rapid response grants.
The goals of the Family Emergency Fund are to:
- Ensure safe and healthy housing
- Maintain family stability and ensure children's safety
- Support education and health care access
"The best part is having an amazing nurse who loves and cares for my child the way I do. And having a program that provides so much for my child to help with her early learning and development." - Emergency Fund Recipient
