Bringing The Huddle to Los Angeles
This March, we were thrilled to announce another major milestone for The Huddle: last year, we submitted a community project funding request to Congresswoman Nanette Barragán of California’s 44th District, and this month, she has secured $800,000 in government funding to support our second The Huddle property in Los Angeles—which means we can begin making this project a reality in Southern California!
Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting projects as we build momentum and continue to create a brighter future for single-parent families! To submit an inquiry, please contact us at info@raisethebarr.org.
