The Regional Family Services Center will expand relief services to meet basic human needs and produce long term gains by increasing adult economic self-sufficiency and student academic achievement in northwest Hennepin County. Three project partners are collaborating to build a 50,000sf expansion to the local Continuing Education and the Early Childhood and Family Center: Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP), the lead partner, is a community-based charity providing food, clothing, and other assistance to low-wage families, senior citizens, and other vulnerable adults; Osseo Area Schools (ISD 279) is the fifth largest school system in Minnesota and one of the state’s most diverse; Hennepin County Department of Human Services and Public Health is the third project partner.
Results Achieved: Project underway, achieving to date 85% of a $14.5 million capital goal. During 2008 JPR Consulting lead the legislative relations and lobbying effort to secure a $2.0 million grant through a Minnesota capital appropriation; cultivated corporate and individual leadership gifts.
