Family Strengthening Awards
The NCLR /Annie E. Casey Foundation Family Strengthening Awards Program presents awards on an annual basis to NCLR Affiliate programs whose exemplary work in the Hispanic community has made a measurable impact in strengthening Latino families. The impact made by the Affiliate organization as a whole must demonstrate a holistic approach that is comprehensive in addressing education, housing, employment, health, and advocacy issues, whether through direct efforts or through partnerships with other organizations. This award offers NCLR a forum in which to honor the work of outstanding Affiliate programs for strengthening the Hispanic family.
2009 Family Strengthening Awards Program
For its sixth consecutive cycle, in partnership with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, NCLR has chosen three award winners whose programs have demonstrated best practices in supporting improved outcomes for Latino families and whose work has made measurable impact in strengthening these families through a holistic approach. Award winning programs were awarded $16,500 and will be recognized at the National Affiliate Luncheon, on July 25, 2009, during the NCLR Annual Conference held in Chicago, Illinois.
