Adoption RI: 20 Years of BlueAngel Community Health Grant
Show Notes

We’re continuing our celebration of 20 years of the Blue Angel Community Health Grant with a first-time grantee: Adoption RI. Adoption RI is a Providence-based organization whose services range from adoption and family support to counseling and adult services. But they don’t stop there. 

We sat down with Darlene Allen, CEO and Executive Director of Adoption RI, and discussed the future of Adoption RI, including the Copley Chambers project, a project that is being supported by the Blue Angel Community Health Grant. Developed by Marathon Construction and Development, Copley Chambers will provide affordable housing to young adults with past foster care experience who are facing homelessness or housing insecurity. In addition to that, these individuals will also have access to onsite supportive services provided by partners House of Hope and Providence Community Health Center.
