The Victoria Foundation has provided $125,000 in funding for the Streets to Homes program, which was facing a short-fall.

A program that helps the homeless find stable housing has been given a timely boost by the Victoria Foundation. Streets to Homes will be able to continue full operations thanks to the foundation’s $125,000 donation.
