Description
How much would an extra $500 a month help with your bills? Starting next month, 175 households in Tacoma will be getting that help.
United Way of Pierce County opened applications on Friday, March 1, for a program called Growing Resilience in Tacoma (GRIT) 2.0. The project gives families a monthly cash gift of $500 until next June.
GRIT 2.0 is a $1.9 million dollar investment from the state, and is a collaboration between United Way, the City of Tacoma, Pierce County, and the State Department of Social and Health Services.
Dona Ponepinto, president and CEO of United Way of Pierce County, said the project expands on Tacoma’s GRIT program, which served 110 families in 2021, and builds on the lessons learned.
