Congratulations to Aspiranet Visalia and Fresno offices on being awarded with funding from the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP)! These much needed funds will be used to help serve youth who previously would not have qualified for the Transitional House Program (THP) Plus. http://www.aspiranet.org/thp
In February, Congress passed a nearly $800 billion economic recovery package that included $1.5 billion for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). The Federal Government, through the Housing of Urban Development (HUD), has begun to distribute portions of this stimulus package aimed at providing support funding around critical issues like homelessness.

Get your motor running!
Aspiranet, Robert Hall Winery to host motorcycle run in support of foster care, November 8
(CENTRAL COAST, CA) Aspiranet, one of California’s largest nonprofit adoption and foster care support organizations, and Robert Hall Winery in Paso Robles are teaming up to host a Black Vest Affair Motorcycle Run from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 8, 2009.
All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Central Coast Chapter of Aspiranet.
“Not your normal run-of-the-mill charity event, this gathering of horsepower promises to be an escape from the daily grind for folks while benefitting foster children in the Aspiranet program,” said Deborah Masullo, owner of Doughboys Pizza and a member of the Aspiranet Central Coast Impact Council. “What could be better than pairing a leisurely motorcycle ride through the wine country of California’s Central Coast with good food, friends, and the road less traveled – all to raise hope for foster children?”
The charity ride starts up at 1800 Grand Avenue in Grover Beach, ending at Robert Hall Winery in Paso Robles, just in time to feast on a lunch prepared by Catering by Chef Charlie with live music and prize giveaways.
Ticket holders will have an opportunity to enter drawings to win a trip for two to Las Vegas, cooking classes from Catering by Chef Charlie, and other donated raffle prizes.
Sponsors include Robert Hall Winery, Catering by Chef Charlie, Rontal, Doughboys Pizza, It’s Your Party, and Toby Bellocchi of Tobyco Builders.
