Miami-Dade’s Chapman Partnership Gets $5M Homelessness Grant From Jeff Bezos Org
Miami-Dade’s Chapman Partnership has received a $5 million grant to help them fight homelessness from one of Amazon founder Jeff Bozos’ charitable organizations.
The Chapman Partnership, a partner of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust, on Tuesday announced the grant, the largest in their history, from the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund.
The grant will help the Chapman Partnership run its emergency shelters and assist families experiencing homelessness.
“Providing a pathway to self-sufficiency for families experiencing homelessness is key to building stronger communities,” Chapman president and CEO Peter T. Pruitt said in a statement. “Thanks to the significant generosity of the Day 1 Families Fund and the philanthropic leadership of Jeff Bezos, Chapman Partnership is now positioned to make an even greater impact on family homelessness and achieve our vision of a Miami-Dade County where no one sleeps on the streets.”
