Erie, PA Shelter for Abused Women Too Full
Monday, September 25, 2006 Shelter for Abused Women Too Full A local shelter for domestic violence victims is turning women away because it`s overcrowded. As many as 28 woman and children are running away from abusive situations on any given day in Erie. Sometimes there`s nowhere for them to go. SafeNet officials say they had to turn away 120 battered women and children because there wasn`t enough room in the organization`s shelter. Now, the shelter is launching a $2 million fundraising campaign to renovate the shelter and build an adjacent annex. SafeNet says that will give each person overnight accommodations and personal privacy they need to heal. http://www.wjettv.com/news/default.asp?mode=shownews&id=6684
