Humana Healthy Horizons and The Humana Foundation Commit More Than $2.5 Million to COVID-19 Relief in Texas - Seite 2

“Accessible Housing Austin! is extremely grateful to Humana Healthy Horizons for their generous grant to the AHA! at Briarcliff apartment complex,” said Jolene Keene, Executive Director, Accessible Housing Austin! “Each of our 27 housing units will be fully accessible to persons with disabilities. Having amenities like large elevators and accessible laundry facilities allows for further access opportunities so that our tenants can live with independence, dignity, and comfort."

“Humana’s generous investment will allow us to increase workforce capacity needed to connect more families to any resources they need,” said Elizabeth Lutz, Executive Director, Bexar County Community Health Collaborative. “The Community Health Worker is a trusted member in the communities where they live and work. They bring resources to families through our Pathways Community HUB. The Health Collaborative’s program is the only Pathways Community HUB in Texas and in the Southwest Region of the United States.”

"Research shows that two-thirds of the income-based achievement gap is attributed to summer learning loss. This year, the learning loss due to the COVID pandemic will be an added layer, making our summer program more crucial than ever before,” said Jodi Newman, School Age Services Executive Director, YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. "Through the gift from Humana Healthy Horizons, the YMCA will be able to expand how many children we serve, ensuring more than 150 kids will get the academic and mental health support they need throughout the summer months.”

In addition to the more than $1 million in new commitments from Humana Healthy Horizons, the Humana Foundation has recently contributed more than $1.5 million in direct COVID relief to Texas community-based organizations, including 17 Feeding America member food banks and contributions to local Volunteers of America organizations.
