SANTA ANA : $50,000 Grant Won by Housing Provider
A nonprofit group devoted to providing low-cost housing for the poor has won a $50,000 grant to aid in its work.
The Santa Ana-based Civic Center Barrio Corp. was awarded the grant last week by Great Western Bank, a bank spokesman said.
“We’re very excited about it,” said Helen R. Brown, Civic Center Barrio Corp. executive director. “The award is a strong endorsement from the housing and financial industries that our program is making a contribution that is both positive and significant.”
Brown said the money would help fund a child care center at the organization’s Park Village Apartments on 3rd Street. Construction on the center, which will accommodate 32 children, is expected to be completed in May.
