Woodbury County Board approves CDBG application to renovate Crittendon Center youth shelter
Summary
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors unanimously authorized submission of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) request for $600,000 to renovate the Crittendon Center transitional therapeutic home at 3901 Green Avenue, a project officials say will serve low- and moderate-income youth and improve facility deficiencies dating to the 1970s.
The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors on a 4-0 vote authorized a Community Development Block Grant application seeking $600,000 to renovate the Crittendon Center’s transitional therapeutic home at 3901 Green Avenue in Sioux City.
The county’s action followed a public hearing in which Christina, a Crittendon Center representative, told the board the existing facility was built in the 1970s, formerly served as a nursing home and “no longer meets the needs of addressing the trauma needs of youth” served there. Christina said the center will request $600,000 from the CDBG program toward an approximate $1.2 million project, and that the balance would be secured from donors, Department of Health and Human Services grants and foundations.
