Expert Statements
Amanda Mertens Campbell, Vice President, External Affairs and Corporate Responsibility, and President, FirstEnergy Foundation
“The organizations receiving these grants provide more than shelter. They offer safety, support and hope during some of life's most challenging moments. This funding will help more individuals and families access not only emergency housing, but also the compassion, counseling and support services that can help prevent future housing instability and create a foundation for long-term success.”
