At our June 10 meeting, HARC highlighted the Engaging Neighborhoods, Organizations, Unions, Governments and Households (ENOUGH) initiative. This unique Maryland state grant-funded initiative is a collaborative effort to alleviate poverty for children and families in the south end of Hagerstown, led by San Mar/Bester Community of Hope. This initiative aims to strategically address generational poverty and promote a legacy of economic mobility through critical support and resources in the following areas:
- Housing & Spaces
- Mental Health & Substance Abuse
- Poverty & Concrete Resources
- Childcare & Workforce Development
HARC is grateful to be a partner in this initiative alongside the Asian American Center of Frederick (AACF). Speakers included:
