The latest grant from the SECU Foundation, the charitable arm of the $57.2 billion, Raleigh, N.C.-based SECU, will enable a local substance abuse treatment facility to gain 90 licensed treatment beds and 17 new rooms for therapy and education.
SECU Foundation announced the $1 million capital grant for the nonprofit TROSA (Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers, Inc.), which provided no-cost services to individuals from 85 of North Carolina’s 100 counties in fiscal year 2022-23. The grant-funded expansion will take place on TROSA’s Durham, N.C., campus.
SECU Foundation said it previously supported TROSA with interest-free construction loans through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, and a $40,000 Mission Development Grant for strategic planning and growth.
“TROSA’s treatment model for long-term recovery continues to make a profound impact on the lives of those battling substance use disorder,” SECU Foundation Board Vice Chair Mona Moon said. “Our support for this expansion project comes with gratitude for their dedication to empower and uplift fellow North Carolinians who are overcoming addiction and journeying down the path to recovery.”
TROSA President/CEO Keith Artin added, “Thanks to SECU Foundation’s generosity and community-forward mission, TROSA’s McDonald Hall will provide space for classes and training to support education advancement and life skills; safe, sober housing to support mental and physical health; and gathering spaces for forming important social connections. We thank the SECU Foundation for its leadership, vision and generous investment in TROSA’s mission.”
