In January, the Community Action Partnership of SLO County (CAPSLO) took a leap of faith: It decided to break ground on a new detoxification facility in SLO before it had all the funds to pay for it. Construction costs for the project, delayed amid COVID-19, ballooned 67 percent over initial estimates of about $1 million leaving CAPSLO with a shortfall. Rather than wait for more money, though, CAPSLO s board voted to forge head and hope that the needed funds would come through. This has been a need for 30-plus years, said Loren Leidinger, outreach director at CAPSLO. We kind of took a leap. We basically voted to move ahead while we continued to fundraise.
