Welcome!
Our dream is coming to life.
The Merced County
Community Action
Agency was awarded $690,000 by the Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) under Proposition 46 to purchase a rehabilitate a new
shelter for homeless women and children. The shelter will be located in
the city of Merced and house 16 homeless women with children for
approximate 60 days per year. This grant is essential to the continuing
need to expand services to the ever increasing homeless population in
Merced County and will go a long way in keeping children from having to
sleep on the streets.
The shelter will provide housing,
meals, self-sufficiency classes, and permanent housing placement
assistance.
