As I said, our shelter has been open just a year, and since August of 2025 we've had over 230 requests for service that we've not been able to fill.
When we first looked at opening the shelter, I'm not sure that we had a clear picture of the extent of women's homelessness in our community. I think that given the fact that we have been full and the fact that we've had to turn away so many requests for service, we're starting to see the true picture of what women's homelessness looks like in our community, and I believe that it is going to continue to grow.
