SAN DIEGO—More than $39 million in Shelter and Services Program funding is headed to San Diego as part of federal monies authorized by Congress to support communities that are providing services to new immigrants, including illegal immigrants.

“The San Diego area has a long tradition of welcoming individuals seeking asylum and refuge with open arms. I’m proud to have worked alongside my San Diego delegation colleagues to secure this critical funding for communities and organizations aiding migrants,” said Rep. Juan Vargas (D-San Diego). “This funding will help make sure they have the resources they need to continue their important work to provide migrant communities with food, shelter and other critical services.”
