No one to answer the phone: What a missing $150 million means for domestic violence services

In Pierce County, a local organization that helps domestic violence survivors is facing reduced services due to funding issues. Our Sister's House, which has been serving the community for 30 years, can no longer staff a 24-hour hotline. This means that overnight and weekend calls for help may go unanswered. The organization is waiting to hear back about a federal grant application that was supposed to be distributed eight months ago. Further details about the impact of the funding delay on local domestic violence services are available from the source.
