The Consumers Energy Foundation generously gifted $5,000 for operating support of AWARE, Inc.’s emergency shelter services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. AWARE, Inc. appreciates the support of and the commitment from the Consumers Energy Foundation in fulfilling its mission.
Funds from the Consumers Energy Foundation allows AWARE, Inc. to meet basic needs for families in shelter by reducing barriers to housing and independence such as relocation expenses, rental assistance, employment assistance and transportation. Survivors work with a client advocate to develop plans for moving from shelter to self-sufficiency, obtain public documents necessary for employment, and to secure medical and dental care including prescriptions.
AWARE, Inc. strives to eliminate domestic and sexual violence while promoting social change and empowering survivors by offering shelter and services. Our organization has been part of the safety net for survivors for over 40 years. Since opening our doors, we have provided crisis services and emergency shelter to thousands of families free of charge because of the support of donors like the Consumers Energy Foundation. Thank you for your dedication to empowering survivors toward healing and hope.
