The local domestic violence shelter is using funding received through the State Legislature in the form of Capital Outlay monies.
A media release said that the purpose is to help their clients escape domestic violence and to provide a safe and secure environment for them. The ongoing goal is for the clients to have a beneficial and healing experience during their stay at the local shelter.
The media release said that feeling a sense of security in a beautiful shelter promotes a stronger sense of well-being and lessens the impact from the trauma they have endured.
In 2020, The Luna County Healing House provided shelter services for 75 adults and 55 children.
During the onset of the renovations, The Friends of the Healing House stepped in to cover the expenses to shelter clients in hotels from May 9th to May 31, 2021. They also supported the shelter by providing $5,000.00 for educational toys, activities, swing sets, bookshelves, and other needed items.
