Interval House pleased with funding for upgrades
Battlefords Interval House was one of a number of emergency shelters in the province to benefit from funding through a joint federal and provincial government funding program.
The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have been working in partnership “to improve housing options for victims of domestic violence,” according to a statement from the Province. The Battlefords women’s shelter received $76,000. In total, the funding program contributed $4.2 million to support 14 projects in nine Saskatchewan communities through the Shelter Enhancement Program.
Battlefords Interval House Interim Executive Director Krista Abbott said she believes this may have been one of the biggest-ever grants for the facility from the governments.
“We are pleased and excited at the support we have received from the shelter support program,” Abbott said in an email to battlefordsNOW.
