We Care in Turlock has been awarded a state grant that will allow the organization to open the emergency shelter earlier and stay open longer than in previous years. We Care was awarded a Housing and Community Development Emergency Solutions Grant in the amount of $166,091. The grant will be used to open the emergency shelter in September and keep it open through May for the next two years, said We Care’s Interim Executive Director Sandy Singh.
