Kent Center's new flagship building, located on Post Road in the Greenwood section of Warwick, and received a warm welcome from Kent Center staff, Board Members, and Capital Campaign
Committee members at a reception following the tour.Mayor Avedisian was thanked for his steadfast support of The Kent Center. Most recently The Kent Center was awarded two
Community Development Block Grants through the City of Warwick. A $15,900 grant was awarded to the Center's Victims of Trauma program. These funds, which the Center has received through CDBG for several years, provide mental health
and/or substance abuse counseling and case management service for Warwick residents who have experienced trauma—as adult survivors of childhood abuse, domestic violence and other traumatic events.
The Kent Center also received CDBG funding for the second year for its Capital Campaign, which is underway to support the purchase of the Center's new building. The Campaign has received a total of $150,000 in CDBG funds. Kent Center President & CEO David Lauterbach praised the Mayor for his leadership and the role he has played in supporting Warwick's non-profit organizations. "We are truly fortunate in Warwick to have a
Mayor who values the work of the non-profit community and the impact our work has in the lives of thousands of our neighbors in need."
