Approve $500,000 emergency loan to keep family homeless shelter open
$500,000
In Plain English
GRIP runs Richmond's only family homeless shelter plus a warming center and food pantry serving 15,000 residents annually. The nonprofit faces a $500,000 funding gap that threatens to shut down these services. If approved, the city loans GRIP money at no interest while they raise funds to fill the gap.
