Kudos to Council for Women's Shelter [By Rachael Myers]
- Issue: With the days getting shorter and the nights getting colder, it's become even more important that we provide safe, overnight shelter so no one has to survive outdoors. Each year, King County hosts a winter shelter for men from October through March, and this year, in response to advocacy by homeless women and their allies, they included $65,000 in funding for a similar shelter for women. The County Council deserves a word of thanks
