WRIC chairs Ellie Lubin and Ina Miller-Silverstein presented a check to Joan Grzenda, Executive Director of Women’s Rights Information Center. WRIC assists parents and others in finding compatible housemates, matching those who are looking for housing and those who are looking to share their house or apartment. Shared Housing helps reduce the homeowner’s financial burden. Other benefits include sharing of household tasks, childcare and companionship. This year 98 families, of which 96 were low income, utilized this program.
