Mother Jones Highlights Hope In Light of Federal Grant Cut
Hope Renovations was one of seven organizations selected for the prestigious Women in Apprenticeship & Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO) grant. Last week the Department of Labor terminated this grant along with others administered by the Women’s Bureau. As a result of the grant termination, Hope is losing $300,000 of a $700,000 grant a third of our entire program budget. Our founder and CEO, Nora El-Khouri Spencer is quoted speaking to how this funding was used to support our training program.
