Commenter: Judy Franz, Shenandoah County SEARCH, Inc. - "SEARCH"

Auxillary Grant Program
 

SEARCH  maintains a residential Group Home for eight intellectually challenged adults with additional developmental disabilities. We have been in business as a non-profit for almost 50 years in Mt. Jackson, VA. Knowing that additional funding is necessary, we also have a Thrift Store that helps to financially support the Home.  All of our residents are able to live at SEARCH because they have Auxillary Grants to pay the majority of their monthly room and board. 

This grant program is definitely necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of individuals such as our residents.  Without the financial help of this program, small non-profit Group Homes such as ours could not exist. We appreciate all that DARS does for this community.

Thank you!   Judy Franz, Chair, SEARCH Board of Directors
