“Congresswoman Barragan deserves our gratitude for her instrumental role in obtaining $850,000 in Community Project Funding. This funding will be dedicated to acquiring and enhancing a Transitional Shelter for Survivors of domestic violence. Such a shelter will provide families with a safe haven for up to 18 months following their displacement from home as they continue with their recovery and integration into the community and for a life free of violence for their children. Thank you, Congresswoman Barragan, for believing in our mission and for your compassion to serve and support our community.”
