SJ supervisors OK job-skills program at Honor Farm

STOCKTON - The county's ongoing effort to address its homelessness problem took a step forward Tuesday morning with the Board of Supervisors' final go-ahead to use $1.4 million in state grant funding for a housing and job-skills program for newly released male jail inmates at risk of ending up on the streets. Also qualifying for the program will be homeless men who are on probation for past convictions.
