Classrooms to go for homeless

Classrooms will become bedrooms for the Santa Clarita Valley's homeless under a deal approved Tuesday by the county to buy up to four modular buildings for the community's winter shelter. Patricia Farrell Aidem in the Daily News.

The county Board of Supervisors, acting as the Community Development Commission, unanimously approved the $20,000 purchase of surplus modulars from the Hart Union High School District to house the homeless.

"It's a great step in the right direction," said Tim Davis, executive director of the nonprofit Santa Clarita Community Development Corp., which has tried for more than a decade to open a permanent shelter.
