(MSP), I want to thank you for the Women's Bar Association Foundation's support in past years. The foundation generously supported the critical work of MSP in the mid-'90s, and we would like to cultivate this valuable ongoing relationship. My Sister's Place, Inc. (MSP) is pleased to be afforded an opportunity to submit a letter of interest to the Women's Bar Association Foundation. We are seeking funding to continue to provide needed programs and services for indigent, homeless, battered women and their children in the District of Columbia. MSP requests the opportunity to submit a full proposal to the foundation for $5,000. MSP's programs include emergency shelter, transitional housing and supportive services to develop life skills that foster long-term independence. Our model of intensive case management includes connecting survivors of domestic violence with legal assislance in order to obtain protective orders, protect custody rights, and access victim assistance funds. MSP maintains strategic relationships with leading community organizations to provide these resources to our clients, including Women Empowered Against Violence (WEAVE) and Ayuda. In September of 2006, MSP increased its reach significantly with the launch of our new Emergency Services Center, a non-residential counseling center. The ESC enables MSP to bring comprehensive supportive services to women throughout the area who are rebuilding independent lives after moving on from emergency housing. Just as our clients turn to MSP for support in rebuilding their lives, MSP relies on supporters like the Women's Bar Association Foundation. Thank you for your consideration, and should you require additional information, please feel free to contact me at 202-529-3328 or via email at mitchem(amvsistersplacedc.or. Sincerely, Nichelle A.
