The state of California awarded the city of Fresno nearly $10.5 million that will help keep emergency shelter beds open for homeless people.<\/p>\n

The award from the Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention fund will also help provide case management for people as they navigate the service network.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the start of my administration, we have provided shelter to more than 11,000 people, more than half of which have exited homelessness,\u201d Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer said in a statement. \u201cThese funds from the state are absolutely critical in our work to address the complex challenges of homelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n2026 HHAP Money Was Uncertain<\/p>\n

Emergency shelter beds in Fresno have long relied on program funds to keep beds available for use. With the state\u2019s looming $3 billion budget deficit<\/a>, those funds have largely been up in the air.<\/p>\n

Uncertainty in the program played no small role in a shelter bed crisis at the end of 2025<\/a> where the city faced losing hundreds of shelter beds.<\/p>\n

A city spokesperson said the money will help keep several shelters open until funding can be secured to convert those shelters to permanent housing.<\/p>\n

Those shelters include the Ambassador Inn, Victory Village, Travel Inn, Villa Motel, and Fresno Home.<\/p>\n

More broadly, the funds will help sustain support for more than 500 shelter beds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The state of California awarded the city of Fresno nearly $10.5 million that will help keep emergency shelter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[112,114,113],"class_list":["post-204122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=204122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/204122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=204122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=204122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=204122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
