SANTA ANA, Calif.—The city of Santa Ana has broken ground on a new homeless shelter designed to help the needy transition to more permanent housing.
The project will turn an existing industrial building into a two-story homeless shelter that will be run by the city of Santa Ana and Illumination Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works to break the cycle of homelessness. The shelter will also act as a “navigation center,” directing the needy to the appropriate available housing and medical services.
