CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Five Laramie County organizations have applied for more than $200,000 in state grants for services to the needy.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported Monday (https://tinyurl.com/lzcoccv ) the total is higher than in previous years, when county groups sought around $83,000 or less in grants in Temporary Aid to Needy Families.
County grants manager Sandra Newland says the reason is that other funding sources are drying up.
