Executive Director Tina Krause of Hospitality House displays the 2020 grant from the High Country Charitable Foundation.
"Hospitality House of Northwest North Carolina is grateful to receive this grant from the High Country Charitable Foundation.
Last year, Hospitality House provided 2,739 (out of a total 39,754) nights of shelter services to 35 Avery County individuals for a total cost of $87,658 at an average of $32.00 per day.
As the largest contributor from Avery County, the HCCF grant accounts for 11% of the total needed to house and support Avery County residents.
The continued support of HCCF will allow us to continue safely and stably housing homeless individuals and families in Avery County."

Foundation grant from Gary Butler.
OASIS, Inc. (Opposing Abuse with Service, Information, and Shelter, Inc.) will use funding from the HCCF to support survivors of intimate partner violence in finding and maintaining safe, independent housing for themselves and their children. These funds will provide security deposits, utility assistance, security equipment, and more for survivors as they work towards
their housing goals. Stable housing is one of the most important factors in a survivor maintaining safety and stability for themselves and their children.
