| | Jefferson Awards: Volunteer's efforts showed HEARTH's flame of hope (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Officials at HEARTH, a nonprofit program for homeless women and children in Ross, knew they still needed to look strategically at fund raising and other support to keep going over the long term. |
 | | After leaving HEARTH ("Homelessness Ends with Advocacy, Resources, Training and Housing"), 84 percent go on to permanent housing, 75 percent to full-time jobs, 100 percent increase their education and 95 percent increase their income. |
 | | The irony about all this self-learning is while HEARTH was pushing its clients through all this education, counseling, goal-setting and renewal, the organization itself could not chart its progress. |
