Re: Women's Shelter

[Marci Schreiber <eschreim@gritman.org>]

Tina,

There are two emergency/temporary housing facilities in Moscow:

Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse (domestic violence shelter)
883-4357 

Sojourner Truth House (transitional/homeless shelter) 883-3438.

The First Presbyterian Church in Moscow (882-4122) might also be a good
place to try.  I understand that they create "home starter" kits for folks
as they leave homeless or abusive situations to begin anew.  They include
such things as shampoo, soaps, etc.  I believe they also work with ATVP
and Sojourner's to supply these items to the families who leave their
respective shelters.

All this information can be found in a resource guide for Latah
County, called the Community Compass.  If you'd like a copy, call and
let me know.  Hope this helps.

Marci
