Burlington Supportive Housing Initiatives Inc

The Summer Lunch Program is a partnership between the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department, Burlington Schools Food Service, and the Burlington Housing Authority, to administer the Recreation and Nutrition Summer Drop-In Programs at two of BHA's low-income housing communities: Franklin Square and Riverside Apartments. This program enables low-income children to have summer access to nutritious meals and supervised programming. BSHI continues to be interested in finding a funding source to assist the program.

Northern Lights Grant funding was used for alumni breakfasts where graduates of the Offender Re-Entry Housing Program (ORHP) come together monthly to discuss successes and challenges they have encountered following graduation. BSHI was unable to utilize the balance of this grant at the present time and is evaluating how to best utilize the funds to serve the community and the intent of the donor.
