Funding and Compliance

Through presentations at legislative sessions, one on one meetings with legislators and state administrators, meetings with health plans, and presentations with advocates, Hearth Connection works to increase the amount of resources available to break the cycle of long-term homelessness. From 2005-2011, Hearth Connection helped to secure $35 million for the State’s Long-Term Homeless Service Fund that pays for services in five regional projects.

We package funds received from multiple sources into flexible funds for the agencies who partner with us to end long-term homelessness. Hearth Connection’s role organizing and managing funding, data collection and compliance has been recognized by our partners as significant added value, allowing service agencies to focus on what they do best – helping participants.

Hearth Connection has created systematic tools for administering and managing each funding source. We also take the lead role in ensuring compliance with each investor and each funder’s requirements.
