With all of the funding received for its housing projects, why does WHT reach out to private citizens, business, and United Way for additional financial support?

Because we need to. Just like many other local nonprofit housing and human service organizations, WHT must raise sufficient funding each year to pay for essential staff and overhead costs, which are not fully supported by our grant sources. Only a very small percentage of the grant dollars we receive for our housing development projects are available to support our general operating costs. For this reason, we rely on the ongoing generosity of the community.
