Phoenix Recovery Academy

Phoenix Board Member and Treasurer, Shelane Twentey, attended a recent press conference regarding the Frederick County Community Partnership Grant program and awards. We were awarded $20,000 in grant funds to provide clinical services to our students at Phoenix Recovery Academy! Our staff & students are so grateful!

Applications for this years' grant funds were intended to target the following priority areas:
✅Addressing Homelessness and Housing Solutions, such as housing insecurity, affordable housing opportunities, financial literacy, and initiatives to help people age in place
✅Quality of Life, initiatives, such as childcare, support for seniors, youth empowerment and engagement, programs that increase community inclusion and belonging, and transportation innovation
✅Public Health, such as programs addressing food insecurity, mental health, behavioral health, substance use disorder, intimate partner violence, health equity, and maternal health
✅Supporting the Arts, such as expanding access to cultural enrichment, using the arts to build bridges and make connections, placemaking, and providing community arts programming

We look forward to utilizing these grant funds to further our mission, supporting youth across Maryland!
