Other Accomplishments:
I am pleased to share that CAPMC was recently notified that we will receive $90,000 from Kaiser to
assist households with rental assistance. The funding will also provide hygiene supplies for the
homeless and other minor incidentals that are needed by this population. The grant application was
originally submitted for $75,000, and a representative from Kaiser contacted us to ask that the
application be edited to increase the award to $90,000.
