Threshold Executive Director, Mark Muldoon, receiving a $10,000 grant from TELUS via Mel Cooper, Chair of the TELUS Victoria Community Board.
On Saturday, May 9th, 2015, , Mr. Mel Cooper, visited Threshold Housing Society, and presented Threshold with a fantastic grant to support youth transitional housing in Greater Victoria. In the March 2015 study on youth housing released by the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, the current state of housing for at-risk youth was stated to be in “a crisis” with youth 19 and older being in “dire” need.
Threshold staff surrounded Mel as he told the stories of inspiring organizations that the TELUS Victoria Community Board has helped and why they help. The staff were grateful for the grants we received from TELUS, and filled with joy and acknowledgement that Threshold were choosen to receive a community grant.
Threshold staff & youth thank you, TELUS and Mel!
