History
In the mid-1990s, a group of concerned citizens formed a coalition to address local substance abuse problems. Quickly realizing the necessity of addressing the underlying causes of the abuse, they applied for and received a grant from the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County to fund the beginning of a neighborhood center. Based on the premise that community problems could be dealt with more effectively at the local level, the Center launched a successful format of support services that continue today.
Funding
The Mattie Williams Neighborhood Family Center receives financial support from the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County and the Florida cities of Safety Harbor, Clearwater, and Oldsmar. It also receives grant support, private donations, gifts and sponsorships for special programs and events.
