Fairfield Bankruptcy Watch: Mission Solano
Mission Solano, a California homeless shelter announced this week that its board of directors is pursuing Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week and will eliminate its nonprofit status. Business bankruptcy in Fairfield, CA offers the benefit of reducing debt for a struggling company. The shelter has struggled to obtain additional bridge funding over the past several months that the organization said it needed in order to keeps its doors open. The CEO of Mission Solano cited that previous leadership was responsible for the dire financial situation, claiming the majority of the $3.1 million in liabilities was inherited from prior directors of the program.
Fairfield Bankruptcy Filing
Mission Solano filed for bankruptcy in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento, CA.
