A Los Alamitos youth shelter providing temporary housing for at-risk teens will not reduce its services despite the loss of more than $200,000 that the director says was embezzled, officials with the nonprofit agency said Tuesday.
Although the missing money constitutes a major portion of Casa Youth Shelter's $900,000 annual budget, said Luciann Maulhardt, executive director of the 12-bed facility, "not one shelter bed will not be provided to a youth. No service will be reduced."
