As we celebrate Women's History Month, we can't help but recognize the impactful work of Grady Health System's Ponce De Leon Center in Atlanta, GA, one of CAHEC New Markets' investments. The Ponce De Leon Center was recently featured in the news for its Black Women Organized for Wellness (B.WOW) program, which focuses on the treatment of Black women who are HIV positive.

The program extends beyond the clinical setting to treat each individual woman's emotional, physical, and mental health, as well as helping them find jobs, housing, clothing, and other necessities.

"We are proud to have been part of providing New Markets Tax Credit financing to help expand the critically needed HIV/AIDS healthcare and wraparound services provide by Grady Health System at the Ponce De Leon Center." -Brian Oxford, Manager, Community Capital for CAHEC.

We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the CAHEC Partners Conference! Mark your calendars and join us on Tuesday, June 6, and Wednesday, June 7, at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Our staff has been working hard to plan another amazing event this year. Attendees can expect a variety of thought-provoking sessions, ample networking opportunities, and lots of fun! We encourage you to check out the event website for more information on the conference agenda and registration.

For attendees needing overnight accommodations, CAHEC has reserved a block of guest rooms for this year’s event. The Raleigh Marriot City Center has rooms starting at $199/night (plus taxes and fees).

Congratulations to Holly Springs and Swansboro Apartments, both located in Richmond, VA, on collectively receiving nearly $22,000 through CAHEC's Active Lifestyle Grant. Funding was used to install a playground that would be utilized by residents in a central location for both properties. Polo Club Park, a property located in Lexington, KY, also received fitness equipment through CAHEC's Rex Williams Wellness Grant.

We're sure these wellness amenities will be put to good use by the residents at their respective locations! To learn more about our Partner Grants, contact Stefanie Lee at slee@cahec.com.
