The RTFH is excited to share its non-profit annual report for FY 20/21. This is the first annual report for the RTFH under the new bifurcated board structure with our own 501c3 non-profit board separate from the CoC Advisory Board. While the annual report highlights the accomplishments of the organization in the past year, much of these accomplishments would not have been possible without the strong support of community partners.
