Santa Clarita Grocery received a grant from the City of Santa Clarita on Tuesday, along with other local nonprofits in the community.
During their regularly scheduled meeting, the Santa Clarita City Council awarded grants to local nonprofits as part of its 2021 Homeless Innovation Fund Grant recommendations, including Santa Clarita Grocery.
Santa Clarita Grocery was granted $22,298.60 by the City. The same amount was also granted to the non-profits Single Mothers Outreach, Bridge to Home, William S. Hart Education Foundation (WiSH), as well as Salvation Army of Santa Clarita.
A sum close to $15,000 was granted to College of the Canyons Foundation, for a total donation of $126,493 from the City to various organizations.
A series of projects brought forth by Santa Clarita Valley-based organizations and agencies to aid the local homeless population could soon receive thousands of dollars from the city of Santa Clarita.
City Council members are expected Tuesday to discuss whether to approve six community proposals and distribute a total of $126,493 to fund each one via the 2021 Homeless Innovation Fund Grant.
The city’s grant allocation is part of $6 million from Los Angeles County, which the Board of Supervisors approved in 2019 to distribute to cities so that they can “develop and pilot new and creative services or to further assist individual cities (to) implement goals in their action plans,” according to a city agenda report.
