What do we do with donated funds?
Funds are used to assist individuals who have participated in a call-in or notification, a requirement to be considered a client of HPCAV. Most are used to pay security deposits or first month’s rent, utility bills, medical expenses/medications, books and material fees for school or other specific needs a client may have. Clients are always asked to repay at least a portion of the amount spent. Money does not go directly to the client, but to the housing company, the school, the utility company, etc. There is a limit (per client) and the financial need must be presented by the probation officer. Funds are also raised for specific projects.
