I believe there's a definite need for that.
You're completely right. When you're in a small, remote or rural community, access to anything needs to be through transportation, which is an added cost. The cost of living is definitely affecting shelters. I look at this in two ways. It affects an individual survivor when they leave and secure their own property or place—all those pieces—but it also affects a shelter's ability to deliver services. If a shelter doesn't have the ability to put gas in the tank to pick those women up or get them to services, it's lose-lose for both situations.
The cost of living, from one end to another, even if you loop in the staff who work, it's every part of women's shelters and how we support survivors.
