The Balm Center | Application Preview
The Balm Center is applying for government grants to fund the purchase of a vehicle that will assist in transporting foster children for supervised visits and conducting home studies mandated by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WV DHR). This transportation is essential to ensure that foster youth have safe living conditions.
The organization has begun to expand its operations by contracting with WV DHR to offer community-based care. Their goal is to further develop services for vulnerable youth by becoming providers under the Children with Serious Emotional Disorders Waiver in West Virginia.
The center emphasizes its local roots as a homegrown West Virginia organization dedicated to serving the community's most vulnerable members, which supports their case for funding approval.
The Balm Center does not see other organizations as competitors but rather as partners in delivering healthcare services. Their competitive edge lies in their holistic approach, which addresses the overall well-being of individuals. They help clients not only with emotional and social support but also with practical needs such as employment and stable housing, ultimately contributing to improved functioning and health outcomes.
