CCDH

Funding Partners

Support from a variety of public and private funders enables CCDH to carry out its mission of advocating for and providing supports and services to individuals with disabilities and their families.

Our current funding partners include:
 

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY (DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES)

Miami-Dade County was CCDH’s first funder, and has supported it since the early 1970’s.  Funding from Miami-Dade County supports Individual and Family Supports and provides stipends for In-Home Supports. 

THE CHILDREN’S TRUST

The Children’s Trust funds the All Children Together (ACT) Resource Network for the Special Needs of Children with Disabilities and Their Families.  Its purpose is to increase the capacity of service providers funded by The Children’s Trust to include children with disabilities.

    

UNITED WAY OF MIAMI-DADE       

In furtherance of the United Way’s Improving Health and Independence initiative, this grant allows CCDH to provide emergency assistance to people with disabilities and their families. With the goals of preventing homelessness and promoting economic independence, funds are used to help pay for rent, utilities, and food.

 

 

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA), EMERGENCY FOOD AND SHELTER PROGRAM

 

FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program supplements local efforts to find shelter, food and supportive services for people in need. CCDH uses the funds for emergency housing, utilities and other supports for people with disabilities and their families.

 

 

THE HEALTH FOUNDATION OF SOUTH FLORIDA
 The Health Foundation of South Florida funded a grant to upgrade CCDH’s data base to better track and report on client and agency goals and outcomes.   Previous awards have supported CCDH’s growth and infrastructure by providing grant funding for strategic planning and technology upgrades.
