Building healthy communities is a focus for The California Endowment, who awarded Bloom Again Foundation a grant to expand health equity programs. Bloom Again Foundation provides rapid-response financial assistance for rent to working women living at or near the poverty level when medical challenges stretch their already limited resources.
The grant awarded to the organization will be used to expand health equity programs for women in urban communities by supporting educational programs and resources for economically challenged working women when they encounter medical challenges. In addition, Bloom Again Foundation will produce educational material aimed at reaching Latinas in Los Angeles and disseminating information to the African American community on early detection, prevention, and treatment for breast cancer.
“This grant will let Bloom Again Foundation educate and inform women of color about free funding that can provide them with financial relief in their time of healing,” said Rosetta Henderson, co-chair of the organization, who added that supporting women with financial aid is “essential in each woman’s self-care by allowing them to be free of anxiety over the potential loss of shelter.”
