The CAHEC Foundation improves the quality of life for youth and young adults through wellness and education. In 2023, we distributed $147,250 to support our mission of offering life-changing opportunities to the residents in CAHEC's footprint.

Meet the New Faces of the

CAHEC Foundation Board

We're excited to welcome two new faces to the CAHEC Foundation Board of Directors!

Amy Beros is Vice President, Strategic Capacity Development (SCD) at Feeding America, where she leads a department focused on building capacity for network members by centering people facing hunger. The SCD team provides a suite of services to ensure network members build capacity in critical areas like food sourcing and nutrition, fundraising, partner networks, food access, disaster relief, and more to meet their communities’ needs and sustain that growth for the future.

Lamar Mowatt currently leads the Community and Resident Relations teams for the Humanities Foundation. In his day-to-day, he collaborates with businesses, community groups, churches, and other nonprofit organizations with the goal of developing life-changing services for residents in affordable housing. He has helped the Humanities Foundation establish various youth services programs and is a key contributor to their Marketplace Food Assistance program.

$3,500 Scholarships Available to CAHEC Residents

The CAHEC Foundation is partnering with the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) Educational Foundation again this year to offer $3,500 scholarships to residents living in CAHEC-sponsored properties. In 2023, NAHMA made a tremendous impact in the affordable housing industry, awarding $388,500 in scholarships to students throughout the country. We're excited to offer this opportunity to our residents this year!

Visit the NAHMA Educational Foundation website for information on eligibility requirements and the online application process. To help NAHMA recognize CAHEC applicants, residents must type "CAHEC Foundation" beside the name of their apartment community on their application. Applications are due by May 10, 2024. If you'd like to advertise the scholarship to residents, please email Stefanie Lee at slee@cahec.com to request a Resident Flyer.
