SAN CLEMENTE
The city’s Redevelopment Agency recently approved a $15,000 grant to help San Clemente-based Family Assistance Ministries cover its operating expenses in assisting the homeless and preventing low-income families from losing their housing.
Family Assistance Ministries serves more than 150 families by providing job counseling, food, transportation vouchers and emergency shelter assistance, said Ellen Gilchrist, the organization’s executive director.
“The homeless prevention program is geared to helping people with rents, utilities, things that are going to help them not become homeless,” she said.
