Nonprofit Urban Conservation Corps to close its doors because of government shutdown

Nonprofit Urban Conservation Corps to close its doors because of government shutdown: The nonprofit Urban Conservation Corps, which for several years has worked to give at-risk San Bernardino young people options other than crime, was shuttered this week along with its umbrella group, the Southern California Mountains Foundation.

Blame for the closures has been laid squarely at the feet of the federal government — the shutdown and lack of government funding.
