Lompoc Drop-In Center Faces Funding Cut in 1973 Grant
Assured hopes to operate the Lompoc Drop-In Center for another year were dashed by a Sacramento letter denying a rebudgeting proposal. Without the $5,000 local match, CCCJ cannot fund the $15,947 1973 74 grant, leaving the center, Hotline, and Dawn House at risk. The 72 project expired April 30 and officials note federal rules blocked the adjustment, but a slim chance remains.
