Danville-Pittsylvania County Habitat for Humanity, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to Danville-Pittsylvania County Habitat for Humanity: Crystal was looking for a better quality of life for herself and her three children. Their housing conditions were, and remain to be unfitting, with concern about living in an unsafe neighborhood. Her children are afraid to go outside. Every time they hear a loud noise, they are scared it is gunshots, which happen frequently in their neighborhood. Their Habitat for Humanity home will provide them with a large front and side yard for the kids to play outside and feel safe. This four-bedroom home will also allow each member of the family to have their own space and not be in a crowded apartment.

HAVEN of the Dan River Region, Inc., 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to HAVEN: With funds from the CFDRR grant, our agency was able to receive an up-to-date website that is user-friendly and informative. HAVEN had an outdated website for a long period of time, and it has been beneficial to receive funds to have a site that is professionally created. The outcome of this project allowed us to present more information about our services, gather donations to help maintain continued services to victims, and to provide awareness information about the dynamics of intimate partner violence.

SPCA of Pittsylvania County, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to SPCA: With grant funds we received from CFDRR, we were able to spay 20 dogs for citizens whose dogs had given birth to unwanted litters of puppies, and we were able to provide TNR (trap-neuter-release) services for 100 feral cats living in feral communities cared for by county residents. It is very gratifying to know that we are giving a better quality of life not only to animals, but also to their caregivers and community as a whole.
