Pgspgs-ga,

There are a number of places that are willing to lend a hand in
situations like you mentioned.

"The only publication devoted exclusively to foundation funding
opportunities for individual grant seekers, Foundation Grants to
Individuals is an essential volume that no funding resource library or
individual grant seeker should be without. It features over 5,500
entries packed with the current information that individual grant
seekers need most: addresses, contact names, financial data,
application information, program descriptions, and more. Both formats
are available for free use in Foundation Center libraries. The print
directory is also available for free use at all Foundation Center
Cooperating Collections and some will also have access to the online
version. Contact your nearest Cooperating Collection for more
information. These resources are also available for purchase at our
Marketplace."

What our question asked is for "a list of names and addresses of
organizatons" which provide the specific kinds of grants described. 
The answer given provides absolutely no value added.  If we were
looking for the kind of answer you provided, I wouild have done it
myself and not paid for an answer.  Also many of the links you
provided are not relevant to the situation described, e.g., some are
for government agencies only, or for individuals looking for grants.

If you can answer the question and provide a list of organizations'
names and addresses who actually would entertain applications for
grants for the kind for half-way houses described in the question,
then you would  provide us some value.

visit http://www.nonprofits2000.net - their links page has a variety
of places to visit to learn more about grants and fund-raising.  One
of our AIDS/HIV RCF clients has used that, and we have used good old
fashioned detective work as there is usually alot of local county and
city money to be found.

The trick is in writing the grant EXACTLY as directed!
