This $10 million project, mainly funded by private donations, is a 4,700-square-foot, three-story building that includes a good Samaritan room on the first floor, with cots for single women needing emergency shelter. The top two floors will be allocated to women and children with apartment-style units to create more “intimate, safe and comfortable living quarters.”
