FULLERTON
Women’s Transitional Living Center, a Fullerton nonprofit organization that helps battered women, received nearly $1 million in federal funds over Christmas, housing officials said Tuesday.
The center, which provides emergency shelter, referrals and walk-in services, is one of 12 organizations in Orange County awarded federal grants for the homeless.
Charles V. Smith, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, announced Tuesday that the Department of Housing and Urban Development is allotting Orange County $6.8 million of the state’s $133.1 million in federal grants for the homeless. The money will be used to help the county’s estimated 14,000 to 15,000 homeless.
