Quote from a recent client grantee regarding DCF Homeless Challenge Grant LAC wrote in September for the Pinellas County Homeless Leadership Board and Directions for Living, its lead partner. We were listed third out of 24 applicants in the state; anyone in the top ten was funded 100 percent for $200,000 each... "I just wanted to say hello and CONGRATULATIONS! I just saw the DCF posting on the Challenge Grant awards...it is exciting new news for me! Thanks for your hard work on this!" Martin Bimler (formerly of Directions now at Eckerd College).
