A national nonprofit dedicated to helping communities end homelessness was awarded a $100 million grant Wednesday, and the city of Santa Fe is hoping to be one of many beneficiaries of the massive windfall.
Community Solutions, a New York-based nonprofit that last year partnered with the city in the purchase of a former extended-stay hotel to create more affordable housing in Santa Fe, won a global competition by the MacArthur Foundation to earn the grant.
