Despite the fact that my recent post have not been the most uplifting, there are some really great opportunities for RSSI. First, we received notice from SAMHSA that we are being considered for a grant- we made it past the first round. This in itself is a big accomplishment as they are really tough. Secondly there are some new funding streams becoming available for homeless services that RSSI can take advantage of; such as sweet home Chicago ordinance in the city, the 10,000 homes initiative, and the possibility of new HUD funding.
All of these mean a great deal in helping us achieve our goal of getting decent housing with services for the homeless. RSSI does a lot of good with little resources, so these opportunities mean we can touch more lives though our services and housing program. After being at this agency for almost ten years now I feel that RSSI is on the verge of significant growth that could have an incredible impact on the homeless population in Chicago. So, keeping watching us. We are breaking through.
