We don't turn women away. We have to turn women away from our specific shelters, but we don't leave women without options. Our staff will call around to other shelters, the ones closest to us. They will just keep working outward in concentric circles until they find something. We also have put women into hotels. We do some risk assessing on the phone and make sure that they're safe enough to stay in a hotel for a night or two. We have movement sometimes, and sometimes we don't. However, we never leave a woman without options. If she chooses not to take them, that's her choice. We always offer as many options as we can.
