Frazer Center is pleased to be a recipient of the 2022 Fulton County Community Services Program award in the Disabilities category.
The Community Services Program is an annual competitive program that awards funding to nonprofit agencies serving Fulton County residents.
Fulton County’s Board of Commissioners approved Community Services Program funding to 157 nonprofit organizations during their March 2, 2022 Board meeting. In total, approximately $6.8 million was awarded to qualifying nonprofit organizations for the following service areas:
• Children and Youth Services
• Disabilities
• Economic Stability/Poverty
• Health and Wellness
• Homelessness
• Senior Services
Frazer Center will use the funding specifically for Adult Services programs.
“Every year, Frazer Center provides more than 50,000 hours of support to adults with disabilities,” says Tonja Holder, Frazer Center Development Director. “Fulton County funding supports all the services Frazer Center provides to Fulton County adults with disabilities, including community engagement, supported employment, recreation and cultural events.”
Fulton County Manager Dick Anderson emphasized the importance of connecting and supporting citizens served by CSP. “We are delighted with the increase in the number of citizens served with our Community Services Program,” said Anderson. “In 2021, the County served 70,951 Fulton County Citizens through CSP, during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“County staff created what we consider to be an unbiased process for choosing contractors that included internal and external subject matter experts to ensure that service providers submitted plans that would deliver programs with impact,” added Dr. Pamela Roshell, Fulton County Chief Operating Officer, Health, Human Services & Public Works.
Nonprofit recipients of Community Services funds are an important part of Fulton County’s framework for delivering essential services Countywide.
