PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) — The U.S. Housing and Urban Development says a program serving the homeless in Pendleton will share in a $3.7 million federal grant.
The department says the Community Action Program of East Central Oregon is in line for $33,588.
CAPECO lead case manager Marci McMurphy tells the East Oregonian (http://bit.ly/zNedSY) that the money will pay rent for homeless people plus “wrap-around services” to help them succeed.
She says the money will allow the program to assist three households over three years — one chronically homeless person and two disabled homeless adults with families.
