Sherman to Present El Proyecto del Barrio with $180,000 in Federal Funds

Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) will present a check for $180,000 in federal funds to El Proyecto Del Barrio on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Winnetka facility located on 20800 Sherman Way. The ceremony is not open to the public. The funds will be used to develop a new medical wing for HIV/AIDS patients at the S. Mark Taper Foundation Center for a Healthy Community in Winnetka. In November, Sherman announced the approval of almost $2 million in federal funds for the Valley, which will go toward adding lanes to the 101 freeway, renovating the Northeast Valley Health Center, expanding the North Valley YMCA and purchasing equipment for High Tech High at Birmingham High School in Van Nuys.
