Over 300 residents converged at Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange in Orange, California on June 26 for an event awarding half a million dollars to a local nonprofit to help low-income youth gain access to job training services in Santa Ana.

The funding, which was part of nearly $30 million in federal funds Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) helped secure for community projects in his North Orange County district, will assist the Santa Ana-based nonprofit, Hope Builders, in aiding young adults in need with mentorship, life skills, and job skills training that meets the needs of employers.
