Districts receive state grants
Community Consolidated Elementary District 181 and Hinsdale High School District 86 are two of more than 600 applicants that received a total of $30 million in funds from the Illinois State Board of Education to maintain educational buildings.
The School Maintenance Grant Program is a dollar-for-dollar state matching grant open to school districts, cooperative high schools, vocational centers and special education cooperatives. District 181 and District 86 each received $50,000 — the maximum allowable grant — to put toward proposed maintenance projects.
The grants will help make schools safer, healthier and more energy-efficient, ultimately saving taxpayers money, said state Superintendent Carmen Ayala.
COMMUNITY HOUSE RECEIVES $50,000
The Community House Counseling Center received a $50,000 Immediate Intervention grant from the DuPage Community Transformation Partnership Fund to support mental health counseling services for children, adolescents and young adults who are uninsured or underinsured in the eight communities it serves: Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Downers Grove, Burr Ridge, Darien, Westmont, Willowbrook and Oak Brook.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, communities have demonstrated a significant need for counseling services, based on an increase in symptoms surrounding depression, anxiety, trauma and overall stress. The funds received will support staff in the provision of quality mental health services.
The Counseling Center, which uses evidence-based therapy techniques to serve children, adolescents, young adults and families, is a safe space to explore the path to a happy and balanced life.
“We are truly in a time in society where the need for mental health services is a recognizable need more than ever before,” said Dr. Loren Williams, director of social impact at The Community House. “We are very thankful to DuPage Foundation for their support.”
