Turlock's We Care shelter back open but future remains uncertain

After weeks in limbo, Turlock's We Care homeless shelter is back open. The facility's future was uncertain until last-minute donations bought them more time. We Care reopened its doors on Friday after a month-long shutdown due to ongoing funding issues. The city's only men's emergency shelter typically shuts down for two weeks in the summer, but this time, they nearly didn't reopen at all. Sot: michelle h / shelter coordinator0:22 "We're having problems with funding from the city, but our wonderful community came up with lots of donations for us, and so we're going to stretch those as far as we can," said shelter coordinator Michelle CBS13 has extensively covered the funding fallout for the shelter after city leaders in Turlock refused to pledge $1 of support, causing the shelter to lose out on nearly $270,000 in state funding. Now, it's back open but with a tighter budget. It normally costs the shelter $35,000 a month to operate. The shelter has 49 beds dedicated to men, but they're hoping new grants will secure more funding. But for now, they're hoping those budget cuts can get them past fall because for clients like Simon, who only wanted to be addressed by his first name, a bed inside means everything. "It's a lot better than sleeping outside or sitting in a chair all night," Simon said. If We Care receives those grants, it will get just over $150,000 to put towards the shelter alone, with extra money going to its rapid rehousing and other programs.

166-year-old New Mexico church undergoing restoration project

CORRALES, N.M. (KRQE) – A more than century-old religious landmark from the 1860s is getting new life in Corrales with a major restoration. It's not just about preserving adobe walls but safeguarding the village's identity. Story continues below News: Family of 19-year-old bicyclist killed in crash calls for change Trending: Carlsbad Caverns officials uncover historic cave trash Van Tate's Sports Office: Catching up with Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia Balloon Fiesta: AIFB announces new balloons, pilots for 2025 For most of its lifespan, the Old San Ysidro Church was owned by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. But since the 1970s, the roughly 166-year-old church has been owned by the village. Ed Boles, the Corrales Historical Society vice president, said for about a century, it was maintained by those who attended the church, the village residents. ' When it became public property, the need to find a way to maintain it became obvious. That's what the historical society was formed to do.' Now, the CHS is managing the building's biggest restoration yet— stripping the walls down to the original adobe for the first time in over 150 years. 'We wanted to go all the way back down to the original adobes,' said village project manager Tanya Lattin. 'To find damage and put in new adobes, where needed, to make it safe, and to also make sure that it would be here for another 150 years.' Since starting the restoration in June, the team has found unexpected damage, meaning funding from the state legislature fell short. Anne Van Camp, historian and CHS's president, said that it was a unanimous decision for the society to step up. 'The Society said, 'Well, we're going to raise the money to help fund the extra cost that it's going to take to get it to where it needs to be.' With the walls exposed, it's a rare chance to upgrade the electrical system, which will eventually allow for the church to conceal its first AC system behind the original vigas, corbels, and latillas. CHS's vision is to bring the church back to its original glory. 'This is the heart of the village. You can't find anybody who doesn't have a story about the church,' said Van Camp. 'So that's what our vision is— to bring it back so that people really appreciate that again.' The church was de-sanctified in 1961, but Old San Ysidro Church is far from forgotten. It's now home to music and art shows, weddings, city council meetings, and village festivals. The adobe restoration is expected to wrap by the end of August — but organizers still need funding for the heating and cooling systems. Some local groups, including the Kiwanis Club, are helping fund the project. The Corrales Historical Society said it's still taking donations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
