This is interesting...
I am surprised that reviewing a shelter is an option.
I spent some time at this shelter few years ago. I had just left an abusive relationship. I would have gone to a weekly hotel but was scared for my safety as "the mistake of my late teens" monitored my credit card use.
I was dropped off at the shelter by a church volunteer. I had to wait outside for an hour alone as the "day shelter" was not doing intakes yet. Scared to death I waited outside. I went in an hour later and did the intake take process with a friendly employee. I was told that yes I could stay, which I did until my ex was picked up and and removed from my home several days later. I received a safe place to stay, light counseling, legal assistance, three meals a day, shower, access to clothes and access to other women in my situation.
Women. If you need to go there GO. It is incredibly scary to give up what you have and what you know to go to a shelter but you will be supported. Most things are replaceable, your life isn't.
