She said she now regretted leaving her abuser. The mother of four wrote us saying she only had a week left.
SAFE EMBRACE FULL
She said she’s been told the Our Place shelter for women and families is full as well.
She said she is on the waiting list for three programs, transitional housing, rapid rehousing and their shelter house, but that all are still full. One Safe Embrace resident wrote us she was also on waiting lists for housing after her stay but that nothing was opening up for her either with her time quickly running out. And another woman she's been working and, there's nowhere for her to go either. And it's gonna be the same thing with her. “There's another woman with actually four kids that lives here and she has a couple more weeks. But we don't know how long it's going to be to wait… “ Her rapidly shifting job situation created additional problems, but she says she’s not alone in not knowing where to live after her allotted time with Safe Embrace. “So I signed up for rapid rehousing and I qualified. “They give you resources to help yourself with housing,” Danielle explained.
Their About Us has TBDs in several key positions including for sexual violence advocate. Previous staff told her they wouldn’t allow her and her three kids to be unhoused, but now she says trying to communicate with the new staff has been “frustrating.” We emailed Safe Embrace for an interview about this situation but after responding they were willing to do so, while mentioning their confidentiality policy, we did not hear back. She says there has been staff turnover including with leadership at the domestic abuse treatment center recently, which has created communication problems. She’s since changed jobs several times, and started a new one with a temp agency this week that pays $18 an hour, but she still can’t afford any place in Reno right now, including a weekly, while her time at Safe Embrace is coming to an end.ĭanielle confirmed Tuesday night she’s been told today would be her last official day, and that Safe Embrace said it would pay for her for two nights at a hotel, with the weekend and the week after totally uncertain mow. “I actually stayed in a weekly for a couple of months until there was room in here, which I paid for myself, I worked at Tesla and just kind of did that until I was able to come in here,” she said. “They do tell you you have 90 days, no extensions, maybe circumstances for a few days or something like that,” Danielle explained in a follow up phone call.
“If somebody could please reach out to me, so I (we) can tell our story and let the public exactly know what we’re going through and exactly what we’ve been told. “My children and I (along with other women and women with children) are being thrown out out with nowhere to go after 90 days of being in here,” Danielle wrote. We followed up on an urgent message we received earlier this week from Danielle, living when we reached her at Safe Embrace, a local domestic abuse treatment center.
