GSMOEF RECEIVES GRANT!!

The Ed Fund is delighted to announce that we have received a grant from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development!

This grant will benefit both GSMOEF and GSMOL, and the two organizations will be working together to plan and carry out the project which is being funded by the grant.

 

According to our arrangement with CCHD, we will be doing a pilot program which focuses on (1) homeowner organization (forming GSMOL Chapters, HOAs, and Coalitions), (2) leadership training, and (3) institutional change (engaging MHP residents to work with their local governments on beneficial legislation such as rent stabilization ordinances).

  

CCHD has asked that we focus our work in a particular geographical area, specifically the Diocese of Los Angeles, for the first part of the project, as a trial program.  If we are successful, we will be able to extend the program to other Dioceses and obtain more funding.   The Diocese of Los Angeles includes the Counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara.

 

The work of both our organizations will be coordinated by Mary Jo Baretich and Anne Anderson, who sit on both the GSMOEF and GSMOL Boards.  Mary Jo is President of GSMOEF, and as GSMOL Zone C Vice President she oversees GSMOL operations in LA County.  Anne is Treasurer of GSMOEF, and as GSMOL Vice President for Zone B-1 she oversees GSMOL operations in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
