LOCAL | Funding Homeless programs granted $8 million

RAYMOND MENDOZA Daily Titan

Congresswoman Loretta San- chez announced Thursday that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will award more than $8 million to help better the lives of homeless individuals in Orange County. The $8 million grant is being dispersed for the fiscal year of 2012 to the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance in Orange County. It will not be affected by the sequester meant to limit government spending enacted earlier this month. According to a press release from the congresswoman’s office, Sanchez was pleased to hear the amount of money Orange Coun- ty received for the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance and how the funds will be used to help homeless individuals. “Hundreds of families serviced by the Housing Authorities of OC, Santa Ana and Garden Grove will JOHN PEKCAN / Daily Titan continue to benefit and grow from LEFT: Daniel Root, 25, draws on a Wacom tablet, adding finishing touches to “The Wanderer.” RIGHT: Daniel Lyons, 29, troubleshoots on his computer Friday in the Engineering Building. these resources for transitional housing and a variety of supportive services for the homeless,” said Sanchez. “This funding is especially im- Gamer club braces for virtual battle portant in light of recent spending cuts to crucial programs for under- JOHN PEKCAN 360.

LAUREN DAVIS Daily Titan

According to the Los Ange- les Times, The AIDS Healthcare Foundation feels that creating its own health department for the city of Los Angeles separate from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health would only help with the proper care of current HIV/AIDS patients. The AIDS Healthcare Founda- tion (AHF) feel because the county is so large, the care when it comes to HIV/AIDS patients is utterly atro- cious. Therefore creating a smaller health department would do noth- ing but benefit the current situation towards disease control. “A lack of professional leader- ship and accountability in the Los Angeles County Public Health Department has led to rampant cronyism and a repeated refusal to adhere to standing state and federal laws,” said Michael Weinstein, the President of AHF, to the Los Courtesy of MCT Angeles Daily News.
