On August 31, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors awarded a grant of $3,120,000 to Volunteers of America Los Angeles for homeless services. These funds are part of the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program, which has received over a billion dollars from the Obama administration's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
According to the announcement, the money from the program is being spread to organizations nationwide that provide services for the homeless, including housing assistance, drug rehabilitation, and therapy. In Los Angeles, $4.6 million dollars were split among three agencies, with VOA receiving approximately two thirds of the money awarded.
