A Christian mission outreach in Wagener will receive nearly $1.6 million through Veterans Affairs to provide beds for homeless veterans.
Christ Central Ministries will be able to use the $1,592,500 grant to create 96 beds for homeless veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
"These grants will aid our efforts to eliminate homelessness among those who have served in uniform," Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki said in a press release about the grants, distributed to 19 states.
Christ Central Ministries, which was founded in Wagener in 1997, is the only South Carolina recipient named in the grant. Contributing: staff writers Adam Beam, Roddie Burris, Dawn Hinshaw, Jeff Wilkinson; The Associated Press; The (Rock Hill) Herald
