Business Partnership Award
WILLIAM G. BEATTIE
Maranatha Foundation
The Danbury Housing Partnership’s Business Partnership Award is presented to
William G. Beattie of the Maranatha Foundation for his efforts to establish, govern
and expand the programs of the Jericho Partnership providing physical and spiritual
sustenance to people who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. As
Executive Chairman Bill has led the Jericho Partnership as it established itself as a
powerful force for good in our community and a model of what can be accomplished
to help people through the collaboration of faith-based organizations. In presenting this
award to Bill, we take note of several programs that have directly advanced the objectives
of Danbury’s Ten-Year Plan To End Homelessness, including: the work of Christian
Community Outreach Ministries in providing help to families and individuals who are
homeless; the establishment of CCOM’s new transitional housing facility
with supportive services; Jericho’s educational and mentoring programs and the new
Samaritan Center. The Jericho Partnership enlivens our community through the richness
and innovation of the programs under its umbrella; demonstrates that great works can be
achieved through collaborative effort and inspires us with a vision of an even more
promising future. We are proud to honor William Beattie today for his role in making the
Jericho Partnership such an important part of the lives of our residents.
