Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ nonprofit will donate $5 million to Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington to help fund its latest housing project for homeless families, it announced on Thursday.

The grant from the Bezos Day One Families Fund will be primarily focused on Catholic Charities’ planned 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Family Haven complex in northeast Spokane, which will provide housing and social services to more than 70 homeless families.

The 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Family Haven project is a partnership among Catholic Charities, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University and 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Prep, which is located adjacent to where the housing project will be built.
