June is always an exciting month at HEARTH because it ushers in so many endings and beginnings. |
Our families celebrate completing a school year consumed by new challenges—from virtual learning to hybrid schedules, and look ahead to attending various summer camp programs provided by our awesome community partner, The Sarah Heinz House. As an organization, we officially close out a successful fiscal year and enter into a new one with 85% occupancy in our homes. Such success would not have been possible without the continued commitment and support of our entire staff, board, partners, and Pittsburgh region community. So, thank you for ensuring that every family and individual has access to safe, affordable housing. While the pandemic seems to be coming to an end with the rollout of vaccinations and the lifting of mask mandates, the aftermath still lingers. Many of the inequities—homelessness, food insecurity, lack of childcare—our families face have been augmented. HEARTH plays an essential role in helping them overcome despite all that is working against them. As evidenced above, we’ve done it before, and we look forward to increasing our impact during this year. Read on more details about our work and how you can join us in this movement because a safe place matters. Stay Safe & Optimistic! ![]() Marisa C. Williams Chief Executive Officer |
