NeahCasa

Domestic Violence Shelter

Tillamook Women’s Resource Center is establishing a much needed Domestic Violence Shelter

in Tillamook, serving Tillamook County.

The project has been funded, a building secured, and the shelter should open its doors by Summer, 2008. The shelter will house up to 25 individuals at any time. It is anticipated that at least 200 individuals will be sheltered each year.

NeahCasa helped with this project:

• NeahCasa Board members, Kelly Benson and LeeAnn, wrote a $25,000 grant to the Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services that  helped with some of the last pieces of funding.

• Board member Tom Bender helped in his professional capacity to find the building and do the redesign.

Contact the Center if you need support for domestic violence issues and/or emergency shelter.

• 24 hour hotline: (503) 842-9486 or

Also contact them if you want to donate items to the new shelter or volunteer for the hotline.
