People USA received the Field Hall Foundation grant!

We are thrilled to announce that People USA received a $30,000 grant from the Field Hall Foundation to support our work with participants ages 60 and up, a population that is extremely underserved when it comes to mental health.

Thanks to the Field Hall Foundation’s generosity in 2021, we have already been able to make great strides towards our goal of better serving this vulnerable demographic. This year, we will be able to go even further in ensuring that more seniors have safe access to our services and are supported by our programs.
