The Santa Clarita City Council on Tuesday night approved one-time funding of $100,000 for the relocation of Bridge to Home shelter services for people experiencing homelessness, and an additional loan not to exceed $110,000.
The funds will allow for the temporary relocation of the nonprofit organization’s shelter operations to 23850 Pine Street in Newhall.
Operations will remain at this site for up to 22 months – the time it will take to build the new shelter at 23850 Drayton Street in Saugus.
Bridge to Home recently held a virtual ribbon-cutting to announce the completion of the sewer utility to the Drayton Street site.
The event also served as the kick-off for the capital campaign to raise $2.5 million to fund the new shelter facility, which was approved by the City Planning Commission at the March 16, 2021 meeting.
