WAGAP Closes On House For Domestic Violence Shelter

Washington Gorge Action Programs says it has closed on a three-bedroom home in Klickitat County that will act as a haven for individuals and families who have been affected by domestic violence and need a transitional space to figure out their next steps.  Klickitat County is one of two counties in Washington State that currently does not have such a facility.  Programs for Peaceful Living direct Kirsten Poole is hoping to have the site up and running by the end of the summer.  Until that time, the organization says it will continue to partner with other regional agencies for domestic violence shelter services.  WAGAP executive director Leslie Naramore credited 14th District State Representative Gina Mosbrucker for securing $250,000 from the state’s capital budget, a large part of the $345,000 raised toward establishing the home.  Cost of the building was just under $280,000, and the remaining funds will go towards remodeling, furnishing, supplying, and operating the shelter.
