Famicos is proud to be one of the organizations that was awarded funding by the Ohio Department of Health. We plan to use the funding we were awarded to hire a community health liaison to help run the lead remediation, food distribution, vaccination, and health screening programs in the Hough, Glenville and St.Clair-Superior neighborhoods.
The Winter 2022 issue of the Foundation is out now. Read about COVID vaccines, rental assistance and financial coaching, digital inclusion, and our Christmas toy giveaway.
Famicos is proud to be one of 8 organizations nationwide to have received the USDA's Urban Agriculture grant. This 3-year grant supports us as we grow food for the community as well as educate on nutrition and the growing cycle.
Famicos is proud to be one of the first 5 pilot Community Development Corporations in the new Neighbor to Neighbor program. The program, overseen by Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and funded by Rocket Community Fund and the Cleveland Foundation, aims to bridge the digital divide in Cleveland.
Famicos is one of 150 community-based organizations across the country and one of only five in the State of Ohio to receive a large grant from the CDC Foundation to support our work to increase vaccination numbers among African Americans and Asians in Cleveland.
In Ohio, only 77,000 African Americans have received their COVID vaccine while one million white Ohioans have received theirs. Famicos is on the front lines fighting yet another racial disparity.
