The Fullerton City Council decides Tuesday whether to give the nonprofit Pathways of Hope a greenlight to study 2.25 acres of city-owned land to potentially build 80 housing units with support services like medical and mental health care.
Orange County supervisors appear to have at least $230 million in unspent money they can use, in collaboration with other officials and community groups, to help address homelessness, a Voice of OC examination of county government finances has found.
More than 40 local leaders in business, health care, local government and professional sports teams have said they’re on board with the effort, according to organizers at the United Way.
If built, the 2,700 new units would be enough to house more than half of the 4,792 homeless people counted in Orange County during the latest official count in January 2017.
