We approach each persons individual situation with three essential elements: providing safety, offering help, and ???????
How it began: While I was working at a shelter, I housed a woman that was going through suspected meth psychosis. She was someone who fell through the cracks of the system and was so vulnerable. I let her stay at the shelter a few days longer than “policy” permitted. It was incredible how the agency came down on me. I resigned respectfully and decided that how women were being treated was simply unacceptable. I bought a hotel a few months later and plan to buy many more. I plan to convert them to safe houses for women and their children. Never to be confused with a traditional shelter but more of a sanctuary where healing is promoted. I want to help build extremely supportive and strong communities.
