Bay Area Homeless Shelter Faces $50,000 First-Half Gap
Bay Area Homeless Services reports 23 homeless served at Christmas, up from prior year as capacity expanded. Board president Pete Alfaro warns of a potential $50,000 shortfall in early 2006 amid lingering IRS penalties, lack of annual audit, and back taxes. Fundraisers are planned including a February roast featuring Wanda Garner Cash, with collector plates to be sold in June. BAHS dates back to 1982 and assists over 5,000 clients yearly.
