Domestic violence program donations drop, but OK in Bay Area
By Nicole Plascencia KCBY NewsCOOS BAY, Ore.- Nearly two-thirds of the state's domestic violence programs participated in a recent national census, number released this week show that almost 600 Oregonians were in emergency shelters or transitional housing and 458 hot-line calls answered. MultimediaWhile the results go on to say that needs have increased and donations have dropped across the state, locally the Women's Safety and Resource Center says they've seen a different trend. "We did very well in 2009, donations were up. 2008 was hard, 2007 and 2008 was hard, those were hard years for us and we're still reeling," says executive director of the Women's Safety and Resource Center, Judy Moody. Moody says last year the center saw a tremendous community support. The Partnership For Justice says in Oregon 277 people did not get the help they asked for due to lack of staff and money. The center says last year they were about to help nearly every person that walked through their doors and hope that this year will get even better. For more information on domestic violence you can call the toll-free violence hot-line at 1-800-799-SAFE. |
