98.4% Occupancy in September!

What an incredible statistic! We had a 98.4% occupancy rate in the shelter for September. 

Some of you might be asking what a "bednight" is. We have a 15 bed shelter. In a 30 day month, like September, we can offer 450 places for someone who has left an abusive relationship to sleep safely. In September we had a 98.4% occupancy rate, or utilized 443 of those 450 bed spaces. 

Please find and like our Facebook page and share this information with your Facebook friends so even more people will know about the services we provide at Peace Place!
